I've been boo-hooing e-readers lately, but this is a contingency I never really considered. Of course, because publishing is a business, people will wring books out of all their speed bumps until they can be most easily digested, but I can also imagine a cool new kind of metabook where you remix other peoples reading habits. Say you ask kindle to collate and graft the ten most bookmarked pages of every book on the times bestseller list. It'd be a story within a story.
