There are some books that I just wouldn't want as an ebook for practical reasons, and I suspect I'm not alone. Any book that will be used in an environment where it is likely to get damaged isn't, in my opinion anyway, a good candidate for an ebook. For me that would include at least some cookery books (some I use solely as inspiration and never actually refer to during cooking) and metalworking books.
On top of that, I have a lot of photography and realted books that wouldn't work on a small black and white screen (seeing the effect of a polariser filter on a blue sky works better in colour, as does a book of the photos of Joe Cornish). So I suspect paper books will be around for quite a while.
