The likelihood of quality going down just because the series was altered is miniscule. Timothy Zahn's works have been made non-canon and false. The man who wrote the first Star Wars novel, authored one of the best written Star Wars book series out there (his five Thrawn novels), and created the entire foundation for the post-Episode 6 legacy world has just been undermined. Every event that happens after that point has basically just been reduced to fan-work that never actually happens in-universe. We've lost Mara Jade, Boba Fett, the Yuuzan Vong, Kyle Kartan, and Grand Moff Thrawn, all great additions to the SW Universe. Disney kicked him out, and now I've been reduced to sitting in a corner and reading the Legacy books while crying because now I know that they're all wrong.

Books will become rarer, but not totally phased out. Maybe next generation, though.... Faerenheit 451 We also lost Kal Skirata, Walon Vau, The Nulls, Boss, Fixer, Scorch, Sev, Atin, Niner, Corr, Darman, Fi, Venku, Etain, and just about every other character created by Karen Traavis. And that's not counting the events we lost too. She built  a world of the Mandalorians all on it's own, one where they were nation states like ancient times, and they were warlike but moral, and then the Clone Wars Series, for all it's glory, screws it all up in one big fricking mess by saying the Mandalorians are a peace loving group who don't use weapons and they condemn Jango as being a mass murderer as opposed to the hero to his people he was before it all happened.

Basically, we got a Mass Effect 3 ending that undid decades of work.
