I tend to use my kindle these days to read, I can have so many books and they take up so little space.

I can't seem to adjust to ebooks, I'm still a physical book lover through and through...

My problem now is that I keep finding more books to get and I don't think I will ever read them all.

I have a terrible problem disposing of books. I consider it one of the world's greatest sins to throw a book away, but even giving them away is terribly difficult. So I not only have all the books I've collected myself over the years - including a lot of schoolbooks I'll probably never crack open again. But I've also got my mother's entire collection. I've got books in bookshelves, but also tucked in corners and packed in boxes all over the place.

I, on the other hand, love my Kindle and also audio books. My vision has deteriorated (probably from staring at computer screens too much), so that I cannot read physical books without an intensely bright light. But I can read on my backlit Kindle just fine. I was thrilled when I discovered this. Except that now I have to replace all my favorite books with Kindle versions - and not all of my favs are available.

My only real problem with my backlit Kindle is that if i am outside reading it can be hard for me and i have to make it extra extra bright.

You can definitely donate it's hard to make choices, but I find that once you start it gets easier to make more

Having 3 permanent boards and temp moderating three new boards ... it is pretty exhausting

I'm the same with books as in I love getting new books and just enjoy actually reading a physical one instead of through a screen. But I know the dilemma of having so many and taking up space.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Well now you're down to five again, yay! Which ones are your permanent ones?

Yeah, I have three bookshelves, they're not all full yet, but when they are, I'll either have to get creative or get rid of some

Yes As much as I loved modding this board, it's nice to have a little bit of a breather now with one down. My permanent ones are American Idol, Erica and Josh.

Good luck Books tend to have that effect on some of us

Ray, I had 6 for awhile now I only have my two, so I feel you. It is sometimes nice to be able to step back at least a little!

It can be so easy to get lost in a good book. Most of the ones I have read lately I just whip through this one is a little slower to get into, but I need to read at least some everyday....

I'm with Heidi, I can't throw books away and I rarely give them away. I have so many.
