The convenience and comparatively low cost of ebooks will probably make it the preferred way of reading in the future. Just look at the declining popularity of paper newspapers and news magazines-- I think that more people read them online than in-hand.
I certainly have mixed feelings about all of this-- It would be a shame if we were to lose our great Barnes and Noble Bookstore here in The Villages. I truly enjoy going there to pick out a book, have coffee,etc.
Most of my experience has been that they are released along with the hardback versions.
