Until they have the best of both worlds, such as Pixel Qi displays, then eBooks will still have a place.
Because some people (like myself) actually prefer a backlit screen over a non lit screen. To each their own, but being backlit does not automatically make your eyes tired.

Also, backlit e-readers are more useful, as they do more than just display books.
