Ebooks really are a great invention. I love how it's possible to have thousands and no space is used in home.

Exactly.. Plus it was more affordable for me to buy it than physicals since some books are little pricey..

I recently ordered a book from thrift books. Pretty affordable. They are second hand. I'll see about the condition. Will let you all know.

Second hand books are a great thing! Totally agree about the hardcovers as well. I personally actually prefer paperbacks, so I rarely buy hardcovers. But even if I did prefer them I would still not buy them often, because they can be so expensive... Long live the libraries, where there are heaps of books for free

Recently I've become a lot better at donating books (I used to like to keep every book), which I usually leave in a Little Free Library so other people can enjoy them. That gives me more space for the books I love and other people free books they might love, so win-win!

I own maybe about 10-15 hardcovers but they end up not getting read much. I usually re-read the stories either in e-book format or audio. The hardcovers end up becoming like art pieces instead.

Is this like the mailboxes that pop up around towns where people can take as long as they also donate?

I love the idea.

33 is good because it doesn't overcrowd.

Sometime I read in bed and lose the bookmark. Then it becomes a hunt for the bookmark.
