I tend to keep things so in the last 15 years I've been trying to get rid of some of my collections. I stopped buying comics and getting magazine subscriptions. I donated all my National Geo to Goodwill (over 30 years worth) many, many, many paperbacks also donated. I used to pay $2 and fill a large paper bag with them at street fairs and go to used book stores weekly. Before I even got my reader I was reading more on my computer and less as pbooks. By the time I did get my first reader I had CDs full of ebooks and comics just waiting for a nice mobile reader. Now I have most of my old books in digital form. My home is a lot less cluttered. Money saved, I don't think so, I have the same budget as before. I just spend it differently.
