Will e-books replace paper?

Will you ever get rid of your physical books and switch to e-books? An article in E-Commerce Times suggests that more consumers are likely to try this form of reading in the future.

On the face of it, an e-book is an attractive proposition, not least because it can offer features difficult or impossible to find in a printed book, such as hyperlinks, multimedia content, cut and paste, high degrees of interactivity and updated content. It can be downloaded and read instantly, and publishers don't have to transport huge volumes of books around the country and store them in warehouses.
