probably. the weight, time to produce, time to ship, costs for all that, plus the fragile nature of paper products (insects attack it, it decays over time, flammable, et al), I'd guess that before much longer books will mostly be viewed first as a poor person's only option, then as a sign of wealthy extravagance.
