I suspect that one of my reasons for over-buying is that I have years of pre-ebook era experience where finding enough interesting books to keep up with my reading speed was a constant struggle.

So true. I can remember when I would drive to every store that sold books trying to find something to read. I lived in a small town that did not even have a book store. I would even hit the 7-11 type stores. They used to have a rack of books. 3 AM and I would be driving around looking for books at the same time the drunks were finally going home. I would even drive an hour and a half to got to books stores in Tallahassee.
