Well, yes, that too.
I have about 3,500 ebooks on my devices, and I estimate I may have read a quarter of them. I may or may not get around to reading all of them. But they are all things I added because I
might want to read them, and if spare time and desire is there, I
have them.
There are probably many things I want not available as ebooks, but hey, I still buy paper books, too. For me, ebooks are an
additional format, not a replacement for paper.
I long ago decided that acquiring books and reading them were se[perate and distinct pleasures, and I wouldn't feel guilty about getting six books and having a chance to read two before getting more.
The nice things about ebooks is that you don't need to call the paramedics if my unread stack topples over on me...
