You are inventing a fictional meta-narrative to support your gadget addiction.
The Mobileread forums really need a support forum for people who think they need so many readers and who buy too many books they cannot get around to reading.

Surprisingly, my house has electrical outlets every twelve feet or so along the walls. Charging won't be a problem.
Now I have pared down to six book cases, but in years past I had as many as thirteen, so going electronic and having seven or eight ereaders about is still an overall reduction in space used, no harm no foul.
Since I am finally getting around to reading public domain stuff I had put off for years, I spend as much in a year on books as I used to spend in a month at used bookstores. I could buy two new ereaders and a tablet every year and still be below my old book budget.
