This was the conventional wisdom 15 years ago when the internet was at it's initial boom phase. And while book stores have taken a hit because of online purchasing (Amazon). The sale of books has actually greatly increased for publishers.
The internet is the most widely read tool of today. Before the web people only read from books. Now we read all day from a computer screen. The need to read from pages somehow has changed into a real vacation from the computer and a fresher experience. When you read from a book you almost feel like you're giving your eyes a vacation.
I don't believe in 50 years books will be obsolete. Humans have a need for stuff. Things to hold in our hands to call ours.
