e-books aren't going anywhere anytime soon. The next step would be to download books into the brain, and that's a long way off. As e-readers and tablets become cheaper, which is what happens with all technology, the more acceptable the form will become. Plus the rise of independent authors will have a profound effect on the market. The famous authors will continue to thrive, the independent authors will find their niche, and the ones in the middle, the ones who don't have the name recognition, will probably sink to the independent's status but will not have the independent's control. In other words, the haves will still have and everyone else will hope to join them, but e-readers will play an intricate part.
