Good to have your company, Daniel. Like you, I live in France (Menton) and like you I was a bookworm and book-hoarder all my reading life (nearly sixty years since I read my first book). Being in this part of France, English language bookshops are few and far between and very expensive, so I bought mostly on line.
Then, I got a Sont PRS-05 a year ago and life changed forever. I have affordable access to all the books I want -- and many classics are free. I no longer have a space problem. And I've got over the hoarding habit. I cleared my shelves of several hundred books within six months of getting the reader and have added very frew treebooks since.
I actually dilike reading paperbacks and hardbacks now. They're uncomfortable, heavy and altogether surplus to requirements now. I'd strongly urge you to give a reader of some kind a fair crack of the whip. They hold their value well and you can always re-sell here or elsewhere if you find you're one of the few people who don't quickly grow to love the ebook experience.
Best wishes and good luck. Neil
