    This is a strange question, it seems out there with "will books die?"

    People like paper. The industry formats may change but I think especially for an ART medium actually physically owning products is a huge factor in the buyers in the audience.

    I don't think it will solely be rare hyper-expensive versions either. There is far too much appeal among common people to own the actual physical manga.

    Are these providers REALLY going to affect the industry at all though? Wasn't the content that is now getting put in these services just being provided by piracy previously?
