I wouldn't call anything that stays within bounds "hoarding". For me, hoarding means you're beyond that edge where you buy more than you'll need and can keep. If you only take that first one (more than you'll need), I'm a hoarder of ebooks. And books in a minor degree. It's not that I couldn't live without my books, but as long as I don't see a need, I'd never get rid of them, even though I haven't read them in a long time. But then, I've never gotten beyond the point of "over-buying". Like I love to buy books, but since we moved here (slightly over 4 years ago), I think I've bought about 10 books, simply because we don't have the space (yet) to put them (and those books I did get were either free, since I work at a publishing company, or second-hand books I've been wanting to have for a long time).
