I like the p-book as a trophy. I can be supremely conceited and will admit to taking some pleasure from visitors being impressed by both the quantity and quality* on display in my library.

And ya know, at an earlier time in my life, I probably would have agreed with you. But, I've come to the time in my life that I want to divest myself of the physical trappings...simplify.
George Carlin did a great routine about 'Stuff'...The more stuff you have, the more you have to work so you can pay for a bigger place to put your stuff. The bigger place you have the more room you have to put more stuff so you have to work more to buy stuff to fill it up, .......and so on....
So for me, having a large and impressive library (pbook) is absolutley not a goal. I think that for some, age will play a part in the desire to collect, but for some, I'm sure, there is no known cure!! (No right or wrong here, just an observation)
