I have almost 12000 ebooks, all in Calibre. When we moved, I got rid of at least 50 boxes of books, that I used to buy on Fridays to read when I was retired and living on dog food. But I love to read in bed, and a kindle makes that so much easier.

My real hording is yarn. I bought that mostly while I was working so I would have something to do when I was retired and eating dog food. I have SABLE, which is stash beyond life expectancy. In other word, unless I live to 200, I won't knit it all up. I haven't seen this yarn for 3 years, as it is in storage while we build our new house, not out of dog food. Unfortunately, out of sight out of mind, I keep buying yarn.

Yarn has led to another problem. Audible. I have never listened to books on tape except while driving, but I have a bunch of really hard knitting to do, that will not work with TV.

And I drink, but don't smoke.

I don't consider my Calibre or Audible to be a problem. I rarely buy ebooks, so it is just computer space. I joined Audible, and I need to buy 1 book a month, which isn't hard.
