Are books a thing of the past?

Think about this...with the introduction of kindles and book readers the industry of publishing could be effected by this new type of technology.  In fact, they reference in the video how the introduction of the CD pretty much did away with tape casettes.  Do you think that people will stop buying books?  How about the fact that they recently came out today announcing that now college students can purchase textbooks for a reader instead of the book?  How could it effect your own schooling experience in the future?
