There will come a time in the future when the line between pbook and e-book will be further blurred. In 100 years I can imagine the screen to have e-ink properties while being rock solid (an advantage over paper, though that is not how it works in the game), with no need for a recharge (having a battery that lasts for a year or even years) etc etc. Then, e-books will be at least on par with some characteristics of physical books. Sometimes it is fun to imagine the most cherished technology or the most cutting edge one as potentially outdated as a daguerreotype camera. I cling to the hope of witnessing some truly innovative developments during my lifetime, rather more so after the nuclear fusion breakthrough.
