I come from there as well. But while I never really enjoyed maintaining a paper library, I do enjoy maintaining a digital library, and gladly invest my time in it. I just like tinkering with it and with Calibre, aside from the need to keep a backup of my books. It's become a hobby in itself, quite apart from reading.
