That pretty much describes me, too. I used to treasure my collection of paper books, but I've been happy to exchange my physical possessions for electronic ones. The words and ideas are still there, it's just more compact to store them. On my next move I'm going to be able to downsize since I won't have to worry about where to put a 20-foot wall of bookcases.
