I see your point and I also still have physical books and probably always will. However any ebooks I purchase are not rented. I strip DRM from them and they are mine. They follow me from old ereader to new ereader. I don't distribute the non-DRM files to others; they are only for my own use and such uses are fair.

I agree with the OP that physical books - especially hard covers - are becoming a niche market.
