Default Will books be around in 30 years?
On the radio in Chicago this morning, the broadcaster remarked that his generation (he is his early 50's) will be the last generation to actually have books in their home.

My youngest niece is 11. By the time she is ready to start college in 7 years, I doubt she will have to go to the college bookstore and buy books each semester. All her textbooks will be purchased and downloaded to a tablet or a laptop.
