For me it boils down to space. I suppose in a lot of ways books or cd's on a shelf almost act like a wall hanging or a decorative addition to a room. In my eyes it's more clutter. I prefer a clean living space free of bookshelves or cd racks.
Some people really enjoy the feel/smell/physicality of a book. Can't blame them, it's just not for me. I'd rather be able to carry around my entire book collection with me on something the size of a file folder.
