I would say books are the entrance to the World of knowledge.
Are books going to die? I don't want to see them dying, I never want to believe on this. But Alas! The end of books is coming soon.
Still I would argue that sans the books physical appeareance, they will survive.
If we are only considering the technological aspect that is threatening Book's physical survival, there is another aspect that seems to keep books surviving. For me, books not only connotes with wisdom and knowledge, they embeds with my religious and spiritual stance. Like in any religion, Hinduism has distincinctive ways to achieve holy and spiritual attainment; one of which is that a Hindu pupil would get through rigirous thorough studies of Hindu Vedas and Upnisads(books).

In practical, the presence of these sacred books itself creates worshipping values. Like a nice and valued Hindu pupil, I will always keep these books.

Well, I know that's not the case we are discussing here. But even with the transition to digital, the books haven't lost there looks and physical resemblences. Ebooks have lost the fragrances and the texture of the physical pages of books, but it maintains the some original structures of a book like fliping pages, cover page, back page and so on.
Well, I tried to reason to make book survive, but poor me, I know I did a very pitiable and unbalanced argument. Phew! We did know there is the end of books!
