I think there is still a place for books, but the age of the 200 or 300 page business/productivity porn book is over. I've often felt like they were a few pages of useful content, then 200 pages of filler so the book stands out on the shelves in a book store. I don't think there is a lot of value lost there. I use Blinkist now for a lot of those type of books, so the future is already here in many ways.
