Ebooks will go the same way. My gripe with that is they still want us to pay ownership level prices for books we only get a license to read. Eh, more and more of my books are coming from the library.
There are alternatives to grinning, bearing, and accepting. Lately, in other arenas, they seem to be paying off.
