I read 3 or 4 books at a time, I read constantly. Any & all books in English are fair game; fiction, technical, history, biographies, horticulture etc. I probably finish about 80 -100 books a year. And yes, I too covet a REAL library.

I have tried audio books, don't like them. Don't have an e-book reader and don't wish for one. I like the feel of a book in my hand and the true portability of it. I can read in the bathtub, in bed with a flashlight, outside in the rain if I wish, anywhere, anytime.

As to the possibility of someone having immediate control over what I read - that is a big NO. I agree with Jason Miller that it is a big danger to allow anyone the possibility of re-editing already published books.

I do support the concept of intellectual property rights. The creator of whatever (fiction, software, music) deserves to be paid for their work.
