Eventually I'm going to get an E-ink tablet, and I'll load it with every book I'll ever want to have with me.

But I'll still keep my hardcovers thank you. I love cracking open the spine of one of my first edition Harry Potters (One of which still has syrup stains from an abortive candy making attempt I made as a child), or any number of other series. Books aren't going anywhere because people like to have them in the same way that digital music still hasn't completely killed vinyl.
