Personally, I would love to be able to replace my paperback collection with electronic files, for two reasons: One, paperbacks aren't exactly high-quality products in the first place, and Two, I'd love to remove some bookshelves. And if readers were of better quality, I'd add my collection of comics, manga and graphic novels to that collection, and lose another bookshelf (and a lot of boxes besides).
The value of having my entire lit collection in electronic formats, backed-up in a secure location, is very attractive to me, and to a lot of people... that's why I'd like to do it. But alas, I don't have the time to scan my own books, so for the moment, they're not going anywhere. Heck, the availability of e-books is still so inconsistent that I'm still buying print books as often as e-books. But maybe someday...
