E-books are here to stay. The dedicated e-reader will only disappear when tablets have both the advantages of tablets and e-readers. I think we will have e-ink tablets that have the brightness, color and refresh rate of LCD combined with the lower power consumption of e-ink.
E-books may be here to stay, but that doesn't mean paper books are going away. Remember, the posters here are among the most die-hard e-book supporters, people who not only read e-books but spend their time discussing them. As a result, consensus on this message board is highly skewed compared to the general populace. Paper has advantages too, even if not everyone cares about those advantages.
