I'm looking at the new Kobo contest restrictions as a blessing in disguise in that respect. With that in mind, I absolutely don't regret buying as many "conversion" books as I did before the restrictions went in. I was able to replace a solid number of physical books at reasonable "upgrade" prices, and that's a good thing. Further, the new restrictions will help me control my new purchases, so here's hoping the net effect of this year's activity has been much like a squirrel (SQUIRREL!) gathering nuts for the winter: I've got a backlog of Limbo books to process, and now I can start going through them faster than I add more to the list. Then that lump will pass through to the proper to-read list, and maybe I can start whittling away at that mountain.

With a penknife.
