Steve,
I totally agree with you here. Considering the same thing has happened with other medium like records, video tapes, photographs, even DVDs and CDs are starting to become obsolete as digital audio and video is becomming more and more common. Of course, as band width increases the curve will steepen on these on off physical storage media's use to decline.
Things like family bibles, atlases, yearbooks, picture books, etc will be around for years to come.
I wonder who the first president will be that is sworn on a e-paper version of the bible.
