Are Ebooks killing literature?

RFWare [Edit] [Delete] 16:28, 10 August '15

http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/aug/10/ebooks-are-changing-the-way-we-read-and-the-way-novelists-write

So we read articles and online things in an F pattern - turns out this carries over into fiction if we're using a kindle. This applies even to students who're trying to make a formal analysis of the text or whatever.

Is immersion "more" literary, and taut narratives of action, therefore sub-literary? Is a good read now more important than a piece of art?
The book as social media ooh get on it, publishers.
