Yes, you get spoiled so quickly You suddenly realise how uncomfortable it can be to sit with a p-book. And there's no inbuilt dictionary or pageturn buttons either...

So, for the record, ebooks suck and paper books are much, much, MUCH better and should cost a lot more than ebooks, like ten times as much.

I agree with you. When I moved recently I purged quite a bit, but there's books I still want to keep in p-version. Books that has special meaning for me in some way or other. A living room without books feels a little empty. And of course there's an element of display of myself as well. Just like all the other things we choose to surround ourselves with - they "tell" other people something about us.
