I love having access to hundreds of books on one little gizmo!

My sensible reasons were all to do with convenience:

Running out of shelf space for thousands of dt books. All the more so since I have just sold the house where most of them were. I gave away several thousand and have still to do the same with more.
Having homes in more than one country and always finding that the book I wanted was somewhere else.
Fed up with lugging around suitcases full of books when I travel.
