There is something like an inherent bias when it comes to change, when ebooks were on the rise we just blatantly assume that 50% people dumped real books for e books, but the fact is there is a steady rise of things when something changes, it doesn't happen that in one day everyone dumped everything.
then due to such assumptions we see such posts where we have to grapple with the fact that okay print books aren't going anywhere, only because we had a bias when we were judging things the last time we reported anything.
yes, one might argue that we see digital books outside in trains, buses and stuff, but that is the whole point of ereaders, mostly everyone uses them while traveling while they prefer hard copies at home
