And regarding the original topic--no, I don't think SF is dying. Anything but! I think it's not even clear that [SF book sales] is dropping since some of that is transferring to e-books, which don't seem to be included in the measures I have seen.
Of course, book reading in general is having to fight for a share of people's diminishing leisure time and disposable income, against things like cable TV, the internet, and video games, and there may be some drop in SF book reading as a result, but I wouldn't see that as declining interest in SF.
