It is a lot like the omg-vinyl-is-the-only-way crowd, come to think of it. Right down to the "yes, the wonderful experience of sitting very still in a dark room and listening to the glorious sound/of sitting in an armchair with a beautiful hardcover edition is a fantastic one, but that's like a tiny fraction of the things I use music/reading for, and frankly, some kinds of music/books really don't warrant it."
This is why I own Lord of the Rings in a beautiful illustrated hard-back edition with satin bookmark (the better for curling up with the weight and tactile sensation of it on my lap and ensconcing myself) and do most of my symphony-and-chorale-listening at live shows . . . and have all the Pern books on PDF on my iPad, and all the pop-dance stuff on my mp3. (As well as copies of LotR and the symphonic stuff, because sometimes I just want to whip them out for twenty minutes).
