It's obvious they will fade away, but I think they will remain as a niche product for many years to come.

Kind of in the same way that you can still get limited releases of vinyl, you might get small print runs (1000-2000) of books for book collectors. I think many libraries and archives will continue to get those limited print runs of books, or might print copies for archiving.

But yeah as soon as we have paper thin LCDs (like we have in movies), paper will be redundant.
