My family had hundreds of inherited books, usually first editions of everything from Uncle Tom's Cabin to The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, when I was a child, but I don't actually remember my parents reading them. We even had several editions of Shakespeare, including a very old one edited by Thomas Bowdler. I certainly read them. I still have two ceiling-to-floor bookcases. I guess I just feel that all is well if I'm surrounded by books and this behavior continues in my ebook library. I keep only 200-300 books on each ereader.
