I have hundreds of books on my Kindle. I add new books that I discover through reviews (The Guardian, New Yorker, Atlantic, etc.), so I always have books to switch to/between. Then, I have a hard time deleting books from my Kindle once I've read them (if I enjoyed them, that is) because it is like having a bookshelf to look over on occasion. I do miss having bookshelves for the visual remember of read books. I don't at all miss the dust. I once put 2,000 books on the street for passersby. Many of them were hardcover. I just had no place for them. It did not take long for them to be snatched up.

On the other hand, I gave usb drives with nearly 4,000 books on each of them to friends at Christmas! I'm still a hoarder, but it's invisible!
