I forsee a glorious role for paper books. They will be treasures. They will also be more expensive, but who cares, they'll be collector's items.
The paperbacks will disappear, in favor for electronic. But the hardbacks will be works of art. Something you will want to show in the living room. So, you'll have author Yyy's latest novel on your reader only, and Watership Down on display in your livingroom.

well you have to remember that everyone has different tastes etc.
I'm not talking about touting Watership Down around and everywhere I go, commuting to work, out by the pool etc. This is where I truely am in love with my nook.
For me certain beloved novels I own and I'm one those who HAS to own a classic or a beloved novel in Hardcover. And when I read those, I have my own special time and spot. it's a little weird but just me. I love reading those in my den with my drink of choice , or out on my deck on a nice quiet morning with my coffee.
To me nothing will ever replace that experience that I get with a Hardcover Classic. (not all hardcovers, mind you) just certain ones. The ones that made us fall in love with reading
