E-books do make it easier to abandon a book, since you can instantly have another ready to replace it rather than having to go to the library or bookstore to replace it.

I have 2 separate categories on Goodreads for these. Abandoned means I deliberately stopped reading it and it makes sure i will never accidentally pick it up again. Hibernating is for things I was interested in but something shiny caught my eye and I never got back to it but maybe I will one day. that way they aren't still on my Currently Reading status.
