Well I am like you I love my home library downstairs however here are a few points that drew me to converting to electronic books rather than filling the shevles downstairs:
1) I love my library but the troubble was that they were getting ready to take over a whole floor of my home, it was getting to the point where I simply would not be able to walk around on that floor at all. And pretty soon after that the books were going to take over a second floor, in other words half the home and it was getting worse from their. Electronic books saved me from myself and drowning in the books, don't get me wrong I still love them its just that I do nto have the space to keep up the pace anymore.
2) I was always finishing one book in the middle of the day and having to wait until I got home to my book stash to get another one but I would always want another emeidately. Electronic books offered me the ability to store multiple books on one device and also instant gratification of being able to get hte next one in a matter of minutes rather than having to wait until I go back to my book stash.
3) Ever try read a paperback on a rainy day, I have does not work too well, and I live in a town where it rains frequently during certain times of the year and I was always running paperbacks in the rain. Try that with an electronic book, the device gets wet big deal wipe it off and keep going.
4) Cost - Many times I can get great books from Amazon and/or Barns and Nobels at deep discounted prices, I can frequently get them for $0 or $1. I have yet to figure out how to go in to a traditional bricks and morters book store and get a free book.
