I'm not sure about no addiction for certain definitions of addiction (*). I've been addicted to the printed word since before I can remember. Ebooks are simply a lighter way to feed my habit as compared to my 2000 hardcover and bog alone knows how many paperback books. The only reason my TBR pile is pretty much non-existent is that I read a lot and I read fast.
(*) This since the definition of addiction I use at work involves rewarding effects (I do enjoy reading!) and adverse consequences which are hard to find in reading however other definitions do not force the adverse consequences and William Glasser has an interesting book about
positive addictions (oddly, the book title as well).
