I disagree. To spend time browsing through a used bookstore or to thin out your own library is pleasure. There is
nothing like holding and reading a printed book. Technology will never be able to replace that joy.
I once saw an episode of Star Trek Next Generation where Captain Picard enjoyed reading a printed book while drinking a cup of tea. I repeat: Technology will never be able to replace that joy.

"to thin out your own library is pleasure."For me, thinning out my library is like going to an all night dentist.

But who can justify the cost of publishing new books? The old books will not go away, it's just that new ones won't be made because it won't be economically feasible to do so.
