To answer the thread question: No.
For evidence look in a shop or kitchen of your choice. Although we have myriads of powered tools (bread cutting machines, kitchen helpers, mixers in the latter; lathes, dremels, bit drivers and God knows what else in the former) there still are the KISS tools:
screwdrivers, wrenches, files, sandpaper, handsaw, chisel, hammer etc. around. Tools which, when they are broken, are literally broken.
Don't know if there is some engineers' catchy phrase for "As long as there is a simple task to complete there always will be simple tools to do it - if for nothing else, than as fallback."
Same goes for reading/writing: a KISS task. Keep data accessible for eyeball perception as simple as possible. Thus books/notepads will remain or rather evolve into another KISS tool rather than be completely replaced by something too much tech depending.
What the next gen of post-dead-tree might be I don't know. Maybe some 3d-printed, extra sturdy yet very thin foil with the "print" being inside and not on it? cleanable? Maybe not as a book but as a scroll (text marker sized and click-mountable on a frame?) Time will tell.
