Per a MM Romance author I queried on Facebook who distributes via Amazon and Smashwords, with print on demand handled via Amazon, less than 2% of her sales are printed books. Via Smashwords her ebooks are available from Kobo, B&N, Apple and other ebook retailers. This is an author successful enough to be making a living from her writing who has had several of her books listed as the #1 seller in her category by Amazon.
Based on this I question the original author's comment about ebooks dying any time soon as I suspect that it is very dependent on book category.
