I am in the process of going digital on books- having just moved a couple of thousand books in and out of boxes a few times, it's just not worth it. It just doesn't work for everything. Some kinds of books- cookbooks, API reference guides, things with diagrams and pictures, large books, etc. just don't play well on the current set of devices. The key thing I am missing so far is the ability to lend/give books that I am done with- even though no one seems to want my out of date technical books. There is no resale value on digital goods.
Maybe the solution to Rands' problem is a projector that shines a picture of a bookshelf with simulated spines onto the wall where your real bookshelf used to be, or maybe he could read your Amazon reviews.
