My car breaks down, I can still walk! But that doesn't mean I'm not buying a car.

To me, the biggest advantage of streaming, the icloud, and technology in general is the need for less stuff--I can't tell you when I pulled a book off of my bookshelf, but I can give you a list of the books I've read and can easily access on my kindle in the last year. Your mileage varies.

(And I think we will probably go with the streaming only option, FWIW.)
