There's a fairly simple solution to this (no, not deleting books off the reader) and it starts with the chanting of a helpful mantra:
"I don't actually need to read all these books."
According to my Amazon archives, I've acquired 700+ Kindle time-limited publisher promo freebies since last year alone. How many of them have I actually read?
~20.
That's less than 3%, and that was the 3% which were capable of grabbing and keeping my attention to begin with.
So I wouldn't worry about your 1400 or so. Sure, it's a daunting-looking number, but you'll probably only end up reading about 2 or 3 dozen out of the entire lot, which should only take you several months.
Unless those 1400 books represent some sort of self-selected personal reading goal, like tackling all the classic works of western, eastern, asian, and ancient civilization, or even actual paid purchases, in which case I'm afraid you're doomed.
DOOOOMED!!!!!
