What you are talking about and what Alejandro talked about are two different things. Alejandro was talking about the experience of a paper book and how ebooks are less personal to him.
As to your question, I don't feel the way you do in general (more choice is amazing and I love the idea that I can carry around with me every book I have ever read on a stick the size of my finger). My one area where I do agree is in the 'chore' aspect, but that is my own fault. I let myself be seduced by the rebate program at Fictionwise and wound up with a ton of fairly average multiformat books just because they were cheap (i.e. I had a rebate and the multiformat books were the best way to get the most books for what I had spent). Most of them have been quite forgettable and I would love to be done with them, but I feel obliged to read them because I paid for them.
