I don't know about linear feet, but I used to have three very full 5-6 shelf bookshelves. Since I've been liquidating paperbacks for ebooks I could probably get that down to two bookshelves.

I don't buy a lot of books - only my favorite authors / favorite books. Even before ebooks really started catching on, I was migrating my favorite paperbacks to hardcovers and getting rid of a lot of paperbacks. Now I work on migrating lesser-liked paper books (or books with no hardcovers) to ebooks, and my favorites, to getting in hardcover.

Space isn't really an issue for me - I don't live in a big city. Besides, I don't collect video games or CDs, or DVDs much any more - sold a lot over the years, tight budget - so I'm using less storage space over time, really.
