Everything Bob Walkden said about the pleasures of books is and will continue to be true. It's also beside the point: It won't stop the advancement of electronic books any more than the pleasures of film stopped digital cameras.
What will stop it is the lack of virtually free energy. When a set of AAs cost the equivalent of £200 at today's prices, what are you going to use them on? When your mains electricity is only on for a few hours each day, what are you going to have working?
These are common situations for a goodly proportion of the planet at present. As a number of extrapolations of the present world situation indicate, there seems to be something like a 50% possibility of them arriving in your (our) neighbourhood in the nearish future, too. If that happens, printed material will be the preferred choice.
