What I would like to see is a service by publishers, a mail in service where you give them your physical books and pay a nominal fee to receive an electronic copy instead. The publishers could then sell the traded in books in what could become a huge second hand market place for paper loving luddites. Obviously older works will have to be scanned but only once then everyone else that wants a copy is pure profit.
I was planning to scan a few of my favourite books that are not in print, then I realised I would have to keep all my originals anyway for proof of ownership, though as the books would likely have the spine removed for scanning I could keep a folder with the covers in it.
