I'm not a librarian, but as I understand it, ebook pricing is ridiculously high right now. We need a revolution equivalent to the one brought by the paperback book to make the ebook market relevant for institutions like libraries (whether that's brought about by a change in production costs, distribution, copyright, business model, or something else). Also, I'd love to see some innovation in book discovery. Even if/when a "paperless library" does exist, I can't imagine having to "browse" through a search-box like some kind of autonomous pigeon-holed drone. > Libraries are screwed because we are invested in the codex, and the codex has become outmoded. So, adapt! If this is how librarians think, then they really are screwed. But from my experience, most aren't as averse to change and doomy-and-gloomy as this guy. There are some very creative and open-minded folks out there in charge of librarians doing some creative things. Time will tell what will work.
