When your hardcopy library reaches 5000, like mine did a few years ago, you’ll reverse course. Trust me.
My Kindle has become my new best friend.
5000 is impressive... i already have pared down some of my printed volumes. as with most readers, over time my tastes have changed, and I no longer read much fiction...I gave away the vast majority of fiction paperbacks, etc that i owned at one time...am a bit more discriminating with the purchases these days.
hopefully, someday, my kids and grandkids will appreciate my collection.. :)
