Most of the books I own have been read many times and still look almost new.

That's 100 per cent me. Books have always been something holy to me and I treat them with greatest care. And it took me a very long time to realise that ebooks are totally different, that I could write notes into a book and still have a perfect "clean" copy of the file. But I still use it only for books I read for study, I haven't made any annotations yet into the file of a fiction book.
