Hey, I coudn't identify more with your confession...
I got actually cured (well, partly cured....) after having donated about 400 printed books to the local library, from which at least 50% were not red!

I think the solution for accumulating e-books due to your dragon demands is to have a deal with him (or her..) that for each book you download you are committed to read X books.....
how about that?
p.s. i think you have a great sense of humor and a good "hand" for writing.

Good luck to all of us, although i truely believe that among all addictions - collecting books is, in general, a good one...
