I still visit second-hand bookshops frequently. (But then... I live near Hay-on-Wye, second-hand bookshop capital of the world.)
I don't feel any romance for either paper books or ebooks. I'm interested in the contents, and not much else.
Although... still have a lingering affection for making a neat pencil line under an important passage in a paper book. (But I don't write 'yes, very true' in the margin!).
On the price thing: I still find that abe.books are invaluable. Even for new books, they are usually cheaper (in paper) than an ebook. So for me, it is more of a space consideration: how many more paperbacks can I stuff into my house?
