Books-The Last Chapter.?

So now we have the e book and the e reader which look likely to lead to the demise at least of the paperback perhaps sooner than we think. One does not need to elaborate on the advantages of this new method of  purchasing,storing and reading books.The sheer instantaneous nature of the transactions
 with no more ordering and having to wait while the bookshop or library tries to get the book you want.The whole of 19th century literature and much of early 20th century literature which are now out of copyright available free or for a few pounds.I possess a Kindle which I have stacked with nearly 2000 books and it still has space for more.My Kindle is in effect the equivalent of a country house library of the  early 20th century.I can carry around with me the complete works of Shakespeare,The Bible,all the volumes of Gibbons Decline And Fall Of The Roman Empire, multi  volume works such as Boswell s  Life of Johnson,The Complete Works of Dickens ,Mark Twain,Wilkie Collins,Zola,Kipling.Jules Verne Chesterton and Wells.Truly a marvel.They say you should never look a gift horse in the mouth so why do I have my doubts about this technology ?.
