Here we go again... why should I have to choose which book I want to read before I go anywhere/do anything... if they're in the reader then I decide at the time I want to read rather than in advance. At least I'll never run out of things I'd like to read... by your spurious argument I should never buy more books than I can read but I acquire/buy my books on the basis that I might like to read them someday... I've probably at least 3.5k in paper that I haven't read yet either, so what. The main answer being YES, I do need to carry them all with me... others failure of imagination is no reason to restrict mine...

If you read fast enough, and you do nothing else, you might read 1 book/day. That means that you could read the 25k books that you have in a little over 68 years. Do you really need to carry all of them with you?
