I don't think it's so much the products that are becoming obsolete.
There probably will be a huge market for books for a while.
It's more like the way they're sold is changing.
Business have in the recent past, and will become increasingly more reliant on e-stores.
It's simply A LOT lower on the businesses' overhead costs.
Retail stores are probably one of the highest costs, and if you can eliminate that, then it's a lot more forgiving to run a business.
Not to overstate the obvious, but in the end 'profit' is just a matter of 'revenue' deducted by 'costs'.
You could build a website, proceed to sell shit from your garage, and have a low risk profitable business.
Larger e-businesses essentially just replace that 'garage' with larger warehouses as needed.
