You've just proved my point, Zelda. People say "but I can read a paper book forever", but in practice, that's not true. People move house; they throw stuff out; they lose things. Buying a paper book does NOT guarantee that you'll still have it in 20 years. eBooks are no different. If you want to re-read one of those books that you no longer have, you'll to buy another copy of it. You might have to do the same for an eBook in a few years. What's the difference? I really can't see any.
