For those of us urban apartment-dwellers whose living room storage os shared between books, DVDs, video games etc. it is *much* easier to buy an ebook, strip the DRM and run it over to a backup drive for posterity...

Well, I am an urban apartment-dweller. And I am at a point where I don't necessarily find it easier to buy, strip, convert (sometimes), and archive. But in my case part of that may be that when I get home from work I don't really want to touch a computer for the most part. There are numerous days when I get home that I don't even sit down at my PC to retrieve email. Yeah, dtb storage is an issue. I donated bags and bags and bags of books last year to Goodwill...and I'm still low on physical space (though I do have enough space to double stack some books right now).
