Burn all the books? What are you, a global warmer??

I'm looking for an article I read which gave estimates of the time it would take (including predictable technology advances) to digitize the Library of Congress. I think that the New York Public alone was something like 325 years, and LC is much bigger.

And as I've noted before, reading a computer screen while in the bathtub is not a good idea -- especially if you drop it. And when camping out in the REAL boonies, a book can serve as tinder to light a fire or wipe for, well, your bodily functions (try doing THAT with a computer!).
