Umberto Eco on the future of the book

... in the history of culture it has never happened that something has simply killed something else. Something has profoundly changed something else.

I like this quote because I think I'd probably stress the persistence of analogue cultural practices. There's also a book too that might be worth getting on ILL even though it's probably hopelessly dated (digital time moves very fast):
