It also has proven to be true for my life. Print books are more visible, and people can say, 'hey, can I read that when you're done?" and I can say "sure no problem" and just hand it to them. Also, they make great second-hand gifts. I've given many books as gifts that people have admired in my library and said they wished they could read.
Despite people freaking out over how easy "casual sharing" is with e-books, I have done the most book sharing and swapping with print books. They are just physical objects a person can pass around.
