There's plenty of books I read once every year or two and I imagine I'll have for decades - I like to have those in hardcover.
My paperback purchases are down to close to nil. I either buy hardcovers from my favorite authors (want to keep for decades) or I buy ebooks (rarely...I hate DRM and the pricing sucks over a used book...so it's mainly smashwords for me).
I find myself buying a lot more used hardcovers, oddly...the price is about the same as an ebook.

Several questions come to mind. If you would answer them, I would appreciate it.
1) How many linear feet of book space do you currently utilize?
2) What is the usual growth, again in linear feet, per year?
