I may even be interested in an author or particular book but if it's not in the Kindle edition, I'm out. It's so refreshing to just carry around the one device(book) for EVERY book.

I donated several boxes to our local library, and some to our church. I feel good about that. I also bought a Kindle. I left several shelves full of text books from college (ones in my major field, too!) and some old encyclopedias. Our old house is being converted to a school--a Christian academy--and I would rather let THEM keep what they might can use, and ditch whatever doesn't apply, rather than ME throwing them away. I just couldn't bring myself to do it. It's like throwing part of your past away. And a Kindle doesn't feel and smell as good as a real book, but it sure is easy to slide it into my purse and take 10-12 downloaded books with me on a trip!

To maintain order I try to limit my library to a single bookshelf. Like many of my generation I've also grown increasingly annoyed with paper media in general and look forward to a fully-digital future.
