I'd tend to agree that people will still have attachments to things. I could afford to rebuy my Pratchett books trivially, but having them is a memory key to important parts of my life, and that is more important to me than anything else.
and I would suggest that if you were so ultra-rich that the replacement of your library was so trivial then the difference in upset between losing your valued Pratchett's and the books next to them would be larger than if you were at all concerned about the physical cost.
