I've read, quite literally, thousands of books on my computer. Being able to reformat them as I like, and always having a copy to go back to is much better to me than using the library. Unfortunately, not all the books I want to read are available online. In some cases, they are available at the library, and I always end up thinking how much more convenient it would be to have it on my computer.
As far as smells and tactile nostalgia, I find more and more that it is the same difference between reading a newspaper and reading your news online.
The only remaining downside, as I see it, is that some authors write specifically for paper format, so digital copies lose some of the flow or nuances that would be had with paper.
