I honestly haven't read a conventional paper book in 3 years, other than cookbooks and work related technical books. Once I got my first Kindle, I never looked back. I've still got shelves and shelves of paper books here, since the local library won't take them, but I'm not buying any new ones, and won't.
Your story is pretty much my story with one minor addition. My Mrs. was the one that told me that "I better get an ereader" due to the fact that we were getting over run by paperbacks. I also refuse to pay more than $8 per paperback, I could care less who wrote it or how good it is, no one is worth more than that. With Kindle Unlimited I don't have to be bothered with hte prices of the books or selecting a bad book, since the penalty for selcting a bad book is $0.
