I so feel your pain here. Growing up moving every couple years, I think I developed an unhealthy attachement to things; as I had attached my memories to the "things" I could take with me to my new place.

As an adult, and hopefully as I've matured, I've learned to attach belonging not to things, but to the thoughts, songs, art, photos, smells, etc. that rekindle those memories even more powerfully. I relish any opportunity to trash things now. I love to take car loads to Goodwill and send bags of outgrown clothes to friends. It's to liberating.

Books are treasures - not becuase of the paper they're printed on, rather their wealth of experiences. I applaud your adoption of ebooks. But then again, you were always one smart cookie - and a fabulous memory. ;)
