You can't put ebooks on shelves. Therefore, you can't showcase your intellectuality to everybody with ebooks. Casually leaving your Kindle lying around is not the same...
IMO, paper books won't disappear in the near future precisely because of this. Nothing shows "I'm smart" more than a wall packed with literature.
You can pretend that you (or you may actually -) like the smell of old books, the feel of them, the fact that they get worn and stained from use, that they gain a personality of their own and stuff. And then use this to impress your peers score with that brainy chick (ah, cynicism...).
Not possible with ebooks.
