Ebooks wouldn't have killed them, but competition from online sellers wouldn't have helped (and the supermarkets selling best sellers at super low prices). Also let's face it - people read less because their heads are stuck in their phone, facebook or in front of a computer game or TV.
I don't mind if journalists write innacurate reports on the closure suggesting ebooks played a role - more publicity for ebooks and more incorrect info suggesting ebooks are taking over the world!
