I don't miss physical books, but I still have quite a lot of them, the vast majority of them bought 15 and more years ago. I no longer buy or read paper books unless I absolutely have to.
If I want to admire my library, I no longer gaze at my physical bookshelves; I don't look at my "faceless" Kobos either. I look at my ebook library in Calibre, which holds all the ebooks I've ever bought or downloaded - much, much more than I ever bought paper books. I can look at them as a list or as a shelf with covers, whichever I prefer at the moment. And I vastly prefer all the various sorting and searching options in Calibre to the very limited sorting options of paper books.
As to the DRM, that gets stripped immediately after purchase, so no ebook of mine is infested with it.
