I've rarely been attached to a physical book. The only thing I have been attached to is the content I think. I have on rare occasions spent over $100 on a book, and perhaps I gazed fondly at the physical packaging of the content (words) for a minute or two, but no longer than I might gaze at the box a Computer or set of cookware etc. came in.
I know this isn't the norm, and that some people buy a book with no intention of even reading it.
At the moment, I would rather have an ereader with some books and the ability to buy or borrow from the library than a thousand or even ten thousand physical books even if I had the space to put them. That could change but I doubt it.
