So I'd probably rent all my books in ebook format if I could, then purchase the treebook for my keepers.

I'm following up on my own post, and moving off topic, so it might be doubly unkosher, but in rereading my post, I realized that there's an element of having a trophy in keeping a physical copy of a book, at least for me.
I must have a thousand books around the house, and there's no way I'll reread many of them. These are just a fragment of the lifetime library of books I have owned, but there are at least a couple of hundred that I could never bring myself to let go. I can't imagine feeling that way about an ebook collection.
