Of course ebooks take up space. A Kindle with 3000 ebooks on board is almost half the size of a smallish paperback. Memory cards, massive things that they are, are 2 or 3 times thicker than a postage stamp. I keep my books on a portable hard drive which is about 3" by 2" and nearly 1/2" thick. That's a huge amount of space for only 78,000 books. Of course my backup is on a thumb drive the size of a thumbnail.

All of my ereaders together would still only need a small shelf. I could add all of the extra covers I've bought over the years but that might be embarrassing.
