I wanted to be able to read Project Gutenberg in bed. Now I can.

Also, the pbook population has become a serious issue. When we moved last fall, there were over 70 cartons of books ... I'm actually not entirely sure how many more than 70, because that's when I gave up counting. Probably close to 100 cubic feet of books, which doesn't sound like a lot until you're trying to find shelves for them. Six months later, we're still using some boxes of books for furniture (and some cartons of SF paperbacks for a railing) because we don't have anywhere to put them out of their boxes.
