I'd expect the cheaper PBs to be the first to go, when the convenience of obtaining ebooks outstrips the extra cost of producing and distributing PBs. Ebooks are a "pure profit" product, requiring virtually no costs to produce and distribute once the book has been finished by the editors. Once publishers figure out how to make that equation work... bye-bye PBs.
