Techy books that don't come with a PDF version should be sent back to the publisher with a big note saying "Gutenberg died in 1468, get with the times!"
eVersions of books are great if for no other reason than searching.

and they stay there.
I learnt my lesson long ago, that books taken into work usually disappear. I've lost count of the number of books that I've had to buy again because they went walk-about.
I find books rarely have much use at work. Books are great for learning and for knowledge gathering, which I prefer to do at home.
If I need to reference something for my work, then Google usually gives me the answer.

I ran into that problem several years ago. One of my books disappeared that I used fairly often. I went wandering around, asking about it, with no results. Finally, I was idly talking to someone, and it turned out they had it.
"I borrowed it one day, and you weren't around."
"You couldn't leave a damn note?"
She wouldn't talk to me after that.
For a long time after that I kept the shelf units over my desk locked.

I think you need to add that option too.
I work from home and thus, they are always at home/work.

This got me thinking. Since I like to drink at home, and I'm not allowed to drink at work, I guess I'll never be working from home.

Quickest way to fall asleep. At the moment I have 3/4 tech books beside my bed and one novel. If I have trouble sleeping (which happens a lot) I open one of the tech books and read until I get so damn bored/tired that I can fall asleep.

I run my own home based business and there is no option for that  All of my books are both at home and in my office.

I rarely buy programming books now. Google usually can answer the questions that I used to use books for.
I do however have a large collection of books on software development process and management.
