Yeah, unfortunately you're right.

I'll be surprised if eBooks are even a thing in another decade. Publishers may well decide it isn't economically viable, and since they aren't quite deliverable like music is (pay-per read???), they may just throw in the towel and resort to print form.

(Like I mentioned, I'm already legitimately considering that myself, as a publisher.)

At which point, the pirates can thank themselves for ruining the party for literally everyone.

I think that would be a real shame if it turns out the way you're saying. Thanks for your post and for chatting with me, it's an important topic.
