Maybe I should learn about it and do it. I might like my reading even better.
Upthread, you mentioned having 4300 Kindle books, over 95% free. How can you navigate that without spending time curating it? One way or the other, it’s a time sink. If nothing else, you probably would benefit from being choosier up front and only acquiring books you really, truly see yourself reading in the next month or two. As it is, if you’re averaging reading 100 books a year, you’ve already got your next 43 years of reading, and that’s without “buying” any more books at all.

Eclutter is still clutter. You want to be able to see the trees and not just the forest.
