It's not.  Ebooks are nowhere near beating physical book sales.  Both paperbacks and hardcover have higher sales (separately and together) than ebooks.  So let's just stop blathering about them going away....

Dutch photographer Reinier Gerritsen is the man behind "The Last Book", a show currently on display at the Julie Saul Gallery in NYC.

Believing that books will soon disappear, he took pictures of people on the train reading books.  The images are fantastic.
