Bookwise I have never had it so good.

I feel the same way, I've never had it this good bookwise. I also get most of my books from a library. However, I also have purchased more new ebooks in the last three years than I have pbooks in my entire life, and let's say, I'm not all that young.
I buy more now because I have a lot more time to read and I can afford to buy them when I catch the great sales. Sales are more easily done in the cyberworld that the physical world.
I think, for me, it's just that I can't wrap my brain around the fact that when I buy a book I don't really own it.
