I love massive bookcases, I love individual books, their weight and size and paper. I love the smell of old books, I like lying down to read a book, I like waking up with a half-read book under my pillow.

I’m with you. I have books over 250 years old, and love the texture of the paper, the smell, the differences in writing style. For ‘junk reading’ (fun, but of little consequence in the grand scheme of things), a paperback is fine...often complete with ‘noseprints’ for bookmarks...read to unwind before/as I went to sleep.

I had about 15,000 books, mostly paperbacks that I started collecting in 1970. Those books took up a lot of space.

While I would have liked to keep them, I needed to downsize. Sold some on Craigslist (pennies to the dollar) as bulk auctioned off the rest in 2011.

All those books could fit on my kindle. Broke my 1st Kindle, all I had are available on my new Kindle.

Yes, books are great, but the convenience of digital is overcoming owning them.
