As a last ditch effort to explain my views and feelings about it all, I'll just say this. I'm pretty sure it will be criticized and called provocation.
A book is a consumable such as food. It is to be enjoyed one meal at a time as the need and taste arises. Would I order 1000 burgers in one shot, just because I can? No, and no books do not spoil as food does, but is there no enjoyment in choosing the next reading? I often do research on a work before I savor it; and that in itself is also entertainment.
eboulimia? Probably that "huge data acquisition" thing might be a pleasure but it does not reach me as such. Consider me blind to this. If it is a bragging right about owning a big library, I will understand. Although it does not appeal to me.(It reminds me of those big filled high capacity SD cards.)
Old fashionned? Yes I am. I've been raised as a reader to wait for the next book from an author. Having to wait for a book makes it more enjoyable, just as it is for any promise that fulfills itself. The longer the better...sometimes.
