Canceled: Rise of the e-reader ?

Hey, book enthusiasts! 

I have to apologize because this post isn't a suggestion for making HPL better; it is merely me sharing an article I read about e-readers. At least according to this article, the rise of e-readers, long projected to overtake real books and render them quaint artifacts, might be beginning to falter a bit. This might be partially because of the shift from plain e-readers to tablets, but also seems to be related to the attitudes of American readers: [...]the printed book remains, by far, the preferred format for American book readers. Fully 89 percent of them report that they read at least one printed book over the preceding 12 months. Only 30 percent say they read at least one e-book[...]"

Perhaps the rumors of the death of paper books have been greatly exaggerated?

Here's the article, "Will Guttenberg laugh last?" on Rough Type.
