The end of books

I just read this post (with great comments) by Steven Heller on designobserver.com. So the premonition is that every book is going to become something like this? Or are we saying book, as a concept, is no more? Will the future generations be getting their non-fiction from the internet, as snippets from a blog or some other online source? And fiction will be solely visual; be it a movie, or some kind of a game, as in “interactive fiction”. Books, the original “readers” with their tactile interfaces, are going to linger around for a while as dusty objects, reminicent of a romantic past.

I guess I’ve already answered my original question.
