Can we get rid of hard cover books yet?

Not if we want them to survive in a decent condition for more than a couple of decades, no.

Not at all.

Online DRMed or "streamed" books can be modified or deleted.

Its kinda hard (aka impossible) to edit or delete a hardbound book on my bookshelf remotely.
