Frankly I don't get it. If all you want is to emulate paper books, why not buy paper books to begin with?
It's just like all large amounts of data, one does it as one goes along. You like to edit your books: if you have ten, twenty or fifty eBooks, you might think it is a good idea, but hundreds, thousands, ...?

Paper books take up a lot of space, the type may not be big enough, the formatting my not be to a person's liking, ... there are many reasons why people buy eBooks over pbooks.
