Audiobooks have been the big winner lately. Sales have jumped 20% each of the past few years.
Print books will continue to exist even if it is just to cater to collectors like music=vinyl. I love physical myself, but I read about 90% of my books on my Kindle because it is easier with regards to light (I can read in the dark while the wife sleeps) and most of the books I've been reading lately are classics that the copyright has expired so you can download them for free.
Physical books have been holding their own lately in sales. eBooks and eReaders sales have been going down in the past few years (at least the expensive ones from traditional publishers). https://www.geekwire.com/2018/traditional-publishers-ebook-sales-drop-indie-authors-amazon-take-off/
