Will our grandchildren stumble upon treasures?

There’s a lot to love about e-books. Lower cost. Portability. Instant availability. No need for physical bookshelves. Easily disposed of.
I celebrate all of these aspects. But in the longer run, I do have some major concerns about a world in which printed books have been almost completely replaced by e-books. My biggest worry is about whether our grandchildren and their children will ever be able to stumble upon treasured books in the way that I, and many generations before me, have always been able to do.
