A paper book also has some other negative values. You need space for them. If you dedicate a whole room to them, that will mobilize a certain percentage of rent or mortgage. Then you would have to find shelving and that's not free, I should know it's part of what I make for a living. And then there's the whole issue of maintenance, organisation, cleaning.
With ebooks there would be organisation time and a little electricity to bring it into hard disk storage but that's it.
