    I’ve got over a thousand paperbacks on my shelves, and I’m realizing that I just have too many to move house or to make someone deal with when I die. I don’t like ebooks, but I think I’ll switch just to reduce how much STUFF I have.

      I realized about 1/3 of everything I had to move when I moved were boxes filled with books. I ended up getting rid of 90% of the books and just use an ereader for everything now. And my digital library has swelled to many times the size of my old physical library.

        Nice.

        I mostly read sci-fi from the 50s-70s, so I bet I can easily find those ebooks just laying around somewhere.

        I don’t have an e-reader, and reading on my phone is annoying. I see recommendations for readers often in the FOSS and piracy communities, so I’ll bet there’s a good one out there for me.
