I was a bit crazed when I got my first Kindle. I literally had thousands of books in no time at all. Between public domain, daily freebies, and the ones I bought, they just kept adding up.
I quickly got Calibre to organize them all, but still had a "thing" about keeping them all on my Kindle because I could. I was ecstatic about being able to have that kind of selection at my fingertips. I couldn't even part with the books after I had read them.
Eventually, my Kindle starting slowing down. I realized I had become a hoarder and had more than I could ever possibly read. I formatted my Kindle, and now keep less than 100 books on it at any given time. I went through Calibre and deleted any books that I wasn't at least semi-excited to read.
Now, I look at the freebies on most days, but only download ones I KNOW I will read. I no longer take them just because they are free. I still have a love affair with my Kindle, I just don't burden it with extra baggage.
