I don't miss it in the least. In fact, I miss absolutely nothing about paper books.
There are several large, comfy bookstores in my home city. But I rarely visit them. I prefer to discover and buy books online. And I buy a paper book only when there is no ebook edition and I passionately want to read it. Which doesn't happen often.
