Who knows what kind of memory density will be available in ten years, you may have several hundred terabytes local by 2010.

It isn't about the space they take up. Most ebooks are so freaking miniscule, that you can have thousands easily fit on a CD, no need for bluray. Not wanting duplicates is a matter of wanting to easily be able to go through your ebook library. Duplicates simply complicate things, by having more to wade through. Which is quicker to go through, 1000 books, or 3400 books but only 1000 of which are different ones?
