Genie out of the bottle. Sort of like all changes in technology thru out the ages. Look how many blacksmiths when out of business when the automobile took over the roads. How many candle makers where put out of business by electric light bulb.

Off hand, being an author, I think we are the only ones who would not be affected. Those who are printers, ink and paper manufactures, book sellers, and those who work for publishers would all be looking at the possibility of lost jobs. Right now, what we do not need are lost jobs.
