There's still room in my library, but Kindle and then iPad have let me take hundreds of books on the go as I've spent most of the past two years away from home.

With iPad, I have instant access to even more books, without the bother of converting. And buying e-books, rather than paying high prices abroad for English-language print books, has saved me hundreds, if not thousands. Freebies also are available to me from a variety of publishers and retailers.
