I sympathise, rich-joy (from deep inside my bunker of books). As a counterexample to "you can get all the knowledge you need on the internet", I offer the following:

Amazon bought the rights to distribute certain titles, only to find later that they'd bought them from someone who didn't have the rights to sell said rights. They then reached out through L-Space, and remotely deleted copies of the titles in question from users' Kindles. One of said titles was 1984, which was thought appropriately ironic at the time. Hence the second verse of my filk Turn the Page Over, and the expression "Shrödinger's paperback". (For completeness, our daughter's now become a hardcopy hoarder in her own right. The fight goes on.)
