Well, I'm a bit of a pack rat .... it runs in the family. It is not unusual for me to order upwards of 50 books a year. When I was doing it with regular hardback or paper back books, there was a problem in that the books were starting to crowd me out of the house, because, while you would think I could donate them to the library after I finished reading them, I really can't, because I like to read certain books again and again.

Now, I am finding that, if I can buy the digital book, I can actually get rid of the hardback or paperback (valuable first editions excluded from this process for obvious reasons) and slowly my pile of "stuff" is getting smaller.

At least instead of trying to find a home for 1000s of books (when I go toes up before too long), who ever has to sort out my estate will only have to get rid of three K1s and one KDX. At least I hope that's how it works out.

So, I didn't buy them to go green as much as I did to get out from under this load of STUFF I've been living with since freaking forever.
