Books, e-books and Ozymandias

One of the reasons, apart from "the way it feels" and "I like the concept of a book" that people give for not switching over to e-readers (which are cheaper in the long run, more convenient and environmentally friendly) is that they would no longer be able to display their library of completed books in their homes.

Come on. Many of us are guilty of this vanity.

As if one of the reasons one would read would be to stack the books on a shelf to intimidate your guests into submission:
This bookshelf is really intimidating.  It may crush you in a book-avalanche.  An e-reader with the same amount of books would do very little damage.
"Look upon my works ye mighty, and despair!"
