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.

I do not think people understand the convenience of that fully; that all the books you have purchased or gotten for free are all up there in your file at Amazon so if you get a new device you can put the whole library on your new device I have no idea how many times I have purchased books that I have read before with kindle it is easy when I click on the one click the popup tells me you already bought this. Now if someone could tell me how to move the books I have read to a read already archive that would help immensely because the recently active sort leaves the ones you just read on the front page.
