When will it stop being moronic to declare physical books dead?

As ebook sales continue to trounce those of print books, and now with the demise of Borders, surely it’s only a matter of days until someone — probably a guest poster on this very blog — declares the death of the physical book.

(They’d be wrong, of course — moronically so — to the point where you might ask who on earth is responsible for approving guest posters on TechCrunch, and whether they have so much as a microgram of shame or professional pride. But it’d certainly make for a pseudo-controversial, traffic-grabbing post.)

Techcrunch isn't calling the death of the physical book just yet. But we all know it's just a matter of time... What will you accept as evidence of fatality?
