Hi! Thanks everyone for the warm welcome and advice. Sorry for the time lag -- I was traveling the last couple of weeks and avoiding the internet. :-)

I have (as you can see on my LibraryThing page) thousands of print books, mostly paperback. I tend to be a keeper and probably still own 99% of the all books I ever bought, including college text books. Of course, I also still have 99% of the books I've ever downloaded too -- and they do take up a lot less space!

I agree with Elsi -- it's the content I want most of the time, not the format. Most of my reading is still paper-based from habit and inertia. But I look forward to being part of the MobileRead community and learning more about ebooks.
