There comes a point when you realize you have just too much clutter (I'd have gotten chastised by a moderator if I said what I really wanted to in place of "clutter" ). So you give stuff away, toss stuff away, and stop buying more to add to the mess.

That includes not buying any printed books for me for the last 4 years or so except for one autographed book by my favorite author that will be stashed away and never read (I also have a digital copy), but that will likely be the last printed book I ever buy. I've never felt any "tactile" need to want to turn paper pages or smell the books or anything else along those lines. Even if I did, the convenience of ereaders and ebooks so far outweighs any of the nostalgia some associate with printed books that I'd still never go back to them.
