I'd be perfectly happy putting my
entire library in a digital file.
I'd gladly give up three stuffed bookshelves and dozens of boxes of material I haven't seen in years, as well as recover all the books I've thrown away because I had no place to put them. I wouldn't keep a single copy of a book that wasn't personally signed by someone special, which would be the only thing to give the hard copy a sentimental value for me.
With a proper display, any image committed to paper would be perfectly viewable to me on-screen.
If I could get a grant that allowed me to take a year off from work, freeing me up to digitize my entire library, I'd jump at the chance.
