Wouldnt really bother me if books vanished - except I would have find something else to stop my kitchen table wobbling.

Where I spend my Thursdays. Good book shops still exist.
I am still selling quite a few fiction books.
I prefer printed books because the battery never gets low.

I suspect I will get a Kindle or similar sometime. I would use it to read books from Project Gutenberg while on the move.
I've looked at one in the store, and I found the e-ink screen quite readable. Having free internet access while roaming would also be useful.
The way people talk you'd think that the ebook had only just been invented; I've been reading them for over a decade.
Books will not die out.
Publishing houses will adapt (or fail) just like they always have done.
Fiction will probably become published in greater numbers electronically whilst non-fic is much easier to access in the dead tree version.
IMO.
