I believe they will only exist as works of typographic art after a certain point in our future. I already only buy them as works of typography.
FYI: I read, consult and do technical reviews of technical books. When I want to read a technical book, I never buy the digital edition. I always buy the print edition. Why? There are studies that indicate on average people read faster with better comprehension when reading printed material. I am someone that reads faster on printed material.

I'm hoping technical books will continue to be printed as long as I need to read them.
