I think you're being a little optimistic; it's going to take a decade or more before ebooks are dominant over hardcopies.

Take a look at the music industry: despite the wild popularity of iTunes and iPods, CD sales are still something like a 3:1 ratio to digital sales for most albums.

It's going to take a lot longer than a few years for paper books to disappear..
