I've worried about the same thing - that 100 years from now, people will using devices I can't imagine, and so just reading text for entertainment/leisure will die out.
But there may be reason for hope - over the past 100 years, we've seen radio, movies, TV, video games, etc, all rise in popularity, and books have survived and thrived through it all.
