Automobiles will fade away (or the Earth will), not horses.



I think we can't compare art with technology.
Photography didn't replace painting in the late 19th century, cinema didn't replace drama earlier, digital discs didn't replace concert halls in the 80's, cellphones are not replacing human interaction now.
They just add-up.

Maybe one day paper books will belong to the same people who use film, vinyl, bicycles, tailored clothes and to add numbers with fingers...

IMHO, between p-books and e-books there's the same difference you can notice between paintings and photos. The latter lacks one dimension.
Like paintings are 3D and photos 2D, e-books lack that touch feeling only p-books can give.
Remember: 1/3 of the people are kinestethic...
