Actually, (and I'm surprised to say this) I disagree. Death of old-school, mass-produced, paper publishing, yes. Death of publishing in toto, no. We're still going to need some form of editorial, marketing and fulfillment staff; however, it will be oriented more and more towards the digital book marketplace.
