To be honest, I actually wouldn't mind such an idea, and in fact, it only occurred to me after reading this thread. I have a huge ass load of books on my shelf, and it would be nice to convert them to e-reading format, so that I can free up the space. Plus, some of the books in my local bookstores are not available in e-reader format too. I used to prefer physical copies too, but that was before I jumped on the e-reading bandwagon.
Except for those that have sentimental value of course. My old Three Musketeers copy was taped together by my grandfather before he came down with dementia and there's no way in hell I'm letting that book be destroyed.
