Personally speaking, there's nothing I'd like more than to have a large library at home. Unfortunately, physical space precludes it. The main reason for my starting to buy ebooks was that I'd reached the stage where almost every wall in my house had double-stacked bookshelves against it. Now, my physical library consists only of reference books (mainly Egyptology and the "Encyclopaedia Britannica") and those particularly nice hardbacks I can't bear to part with, such as my illustrated Tolkien books, and my 38-volume leather-bound "Complete Works of Dickens".
