is there an adjective for folks who hoard 100 x more books than they could read in a lifetime ?
CLD: compulsive library disorder ?

it is also noteworthy that a side effect of CLD is a complete disregard for naming structure, metadata etc until the book collection reaches virtual eiffel tower proportions.

normal folks store acquire only what they plan to read & they label as they go

then there is the how much does it cost to honestly acquire 200,000 ebooks question- not that i am implying piracy or anything

ps let's see... 200,000 books... well you read 3 complete books per day - every day - it will take you a tad under 200 years to read that pile once. so you'd better quit faffing around with labelling & start reading !
or see if you have a really good speed reading text somewhere in the pile
