Books themselves aren’t going anywhere, or so I keep telling myself and fervently hoping despite all the evidence humanity’s collective brains are dissolving into a stew of slop and influence.

For a very long time I've realised that my ebook reader didn't replace hardcover books for me. It just replaced those paperback books that you only intend to read once on an airplane; basically the bailiwick of mass-market-paperbacks.

So, sad as it is, it makes sense that paperbacks are seeing a steep decline. They're the most susceptible to ebooks.
