I have the joint addiction of ebooks and ereaders, but at least I no longer have the fear of the floor giving way thought the weight of paper books in, on and under everything.
Life is short and there are much worse afflictions to have.
I have more books than I will ever be able to read, and I can't see myself ever stopping as it has been a lifelong love affair with reading.
I would far rather have too many books to read than not enough (oh the horror of not having something waiting in the wings!) and I will be leaving them all to someone so it won't be a waste.
Of course what I really want is to take them with me - truly a cloud reader
