Me too, actually.
I also force my self to use my laptop or my smartphone to take notes instead of scribbling on paper.
With "most people" I meant the people in my surroundings. They like to buy vinyl (???) or buy extra-expensive hardcover editions of extra-special books. They print their digital photos to keep them locked up in the same old "photo boxes" that our grandparents already used, and quite frequently print out PDFs so they can read the content "in it's entirety".
I'll post a picture of our living room once all the junk is removed (I'm redoing our kitchen, so all our kitchen stuff is distributed in the rest of the appartment). My wife has 5 Ikea "Billy" bookshelves with 2(!!) top-addition-thingies to hold all her literature stacked up on one wall ... looks rather nice, but still, a lot of dead trees that would take up no more than 50MB on my hard drive.
EDIT: regarding battery life - I charge my p1i smartphone every 3 or 4 days. Once you have a rhythm, it's no problem to get the most out of your battery. Read X hours a day, talk Y hours on the phone etc ... and then you try to go as low as possible on the LiIon battery and you get a charging rhythm going that works.
