One Per Cent: Kindle is mightier than the book, for Amazon at least

First outpacing hardcovers and now paperbacks it makes me wonder about the future of libraries in the long term. For now we have copies of books of that will not ever be digitalized but how long will they be relevant to people's lives? I think some formats like reference type books that are larger than any ebook will still persist because staring at a small picture is just not as much fun.

I think in the long term tablets will cause the phase out of ebook readers. I can see people wanting video and colour on their handhelds.
