The presence of physical books in my home is akin to having comfort food in my kitchen cabinet. I may not want to eat it right now, but I know that it's there for when I want it.
No matter how how many ebooks I have, a house is not a home unless there are books in bookshelves, IMO.
I watch those various home shows on TV, the homes with their sleek modern interiors, sparingly furnished, clean lines, no clutter, and while that look appeals to me, I always find myself asking, "But where do they keep their books???"
