Old things do not vanish but just fade away.
Where did pagers or film based cameras go?
Horse drawn buggy is still there but it is a miniscule fraction of transportation.
May be an Ibook reader costing less  than $100 with full set of books from K-12 will be cost effective.

I don't think libraries will ever vanish because there will always be
poor people (unfortunately) who won't be able to afford the electronic
devices for reading electronic books.

And even if the libraries do disappear, computers work best and fastest
with numbers, so even in a truly paperless ebook world, books will need
to be identified by number for fast searches, fast retrieval and
purchase. Every on-line web merchant has a part-number assigned to each
item, just like brick-and-mortar stores have their SKU number. And the
ISBN system, already in place and clearly defined, will continue to be a
great system for an all-electronic book world so that each
publisher/retailer/whatever won't have to devise their own numbering system.
