I was just stating that two points you mentioned are often not true.

And my ideas contradicting yours were that:
1) softcover books are often cheaper than ebooks;
2) you can sell even out-of-date textbook on most subjects(if it's not an ebook).

Also it's a good choice, as I see you read a lot, so in your case you buy only something you'd like to have a physical copy of, or that are not sold in ebook format.

As I know a lot of my friends read only less than 10 books a year, so they need at least few decades to fill their house. For them I would have suggested using hard copies. Gadgets like ebook readers are great and small, but they are more needed for travel, heavy readers or big amounts of stored books, and not for simple weekend readers.
