Reminds me of the days when CD’s overtook LP’s and everyone had a great gnashing of teeth over the ‘digital’ sound that was destroying music. What killed music then wasn’t the medium, it was the quality of the product the RIAA put out.
Today, there are those who love paperbacks and hardcovers; and although they may fight it - it’s a losing battle. What microfiche failed to destroy, eBooks will succeed at doing.
Of course LPs have made a major comeback, because they still do have a deeper richer sound than most CDs. And the e-book data is very questionable.
