As well as that, "most" is the important word, not "all". My favourite books I do keep, and I don't have enough storage space to keep everything I'd like as paper books. Eg, I recently got rid of 50+ Agatha Christie books which I'd subsequently bought as eBooks. The paper books were nice to have, but they just took up too much space. I've kept the Agatha Christie's which aren't currently available as eBooks.

You didn't happen to sell them to DG, did you?
I'm going to pretty much agree with what you said. I don't want to pay more for an ebook than a pbook, but I don't mind around the same price (except harcover ebooks, I'll pay $11-13). I used to sell a lot of my books right after I read them, but even then I still had way too many books I couldn't get rid of. I still have a bunch I'm going to donate the the library book sale. The fact that I don't have to worry about that anymore is the most amazing thing ever.
