I'd mention my favorite example, the automobile, but that probably belongs in the politics and religion forum.
For literature, I see absolutely no place for paper. For textbooks, business, science, etc, paper still has a function until technology catches up. Once that happens, then paper will be of no use whatsoever for books of any sort.
