Interesting question. Book reading has declined across the board affecting both physical books and e-books so e-books aren't the culprit. I would say Amazon has probably impacted the 2nd hand book market the most.
There are quite a few second hand bookstores near me but none can compete with Amazon on selection or price. On the rare occasion when I do buy a physical book, it's usually a specific title that's not available as an e-book and can be located more easily on Amazon than the random collection at the used bookstore.
