I think e-books are here to stay. I remember a change over when DVD's 1st came on the scene. First it was all VHS tapes, then 25% DVD 75% VHS, then 50%DVD and 50% VHS, then it went to 75%DVD and 25%VHS. Now days you can't find a movie on VHS cassette any more. I don't know if books will go quite that far so that any paper ones will be museum pieces but I do think they will rise to at least 50% of the market if not more.
