The poll didn't really offer the right kind of reply for my case...:-)
For me the situation is this:
I decide what I want to read. The decision is based on the book, nothing else. The I do whatever is necessary to get that book on my Iliad. This has worked so far. It has been a bit (sometimesa lot) of hassle, but I managed to get all but one of the books I wanted, either as official ebook or scanned version. I have a collection of books that has long outgrown the space I have to offer, so moving to ebooks is the only way for me. I tried to sell some of my old paper-books, those I'm not going to read again, but I would have got about 20€ for 30 books, which was really not worthwhile, so I decided to keep them for the time-being. That's the curse of actually owning physical books...:-)
The ebook model I envision is one where I can have an "online-library" with my ebook supplier where I can redownload the books I purchased if I ever lose them or delete them.
