I think that eventually it will be true, everything will be on the internet. Buying and reading books will be like going to the movies today. You can see any movie at home, but a big screen is nice, for something special.

I think that's true for things like recreational books (fiction, modern poetry, etc.). For out of print historical books - doubtful. It's likely not a good to have most of them scanned.
Plus, I find the printed coin reference books easier to navigate than a PDF facsimile. I doubt I'm alone.
Molinari:
KOINON will never be digital-only and neither will any book I ever write. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever purchased an “eBook”.
Congrats on your book Gert. I have a million expenses lined up but at some point I’d like to buy a copy.

True, I suppose if it is cost prohibitive, but prices for books are actually dropping, so hopefully not in my lifetime.
