Pre-Kindle I loved having a library of my favorite books. I had so many that my wife, once we were married, forced me to get rid of some of them. Now, with a Kindle, that library can't be in the way as the old one was. How can my wife get mad about all the space my books take up when they're all tucked away nicely in my Kindle.
I was looking at my Book Review tags and I'm up to 67. Think how much room I'm saving on my book shelves. Now, I only keep the most significant books I can, but keep all the e-books I have. So when I came across this quote at Home is Where the Book Is, it got me thinking about these two libraries:
“I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! -- When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.”
― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
I have two libraries ergo I must be doubly not miserable.

Like you my beloved made me get rid of all my books every couple of years. The only thing is half of the books I disposed of are not available on Kindle. Now they're gone forever.
Glad you liked the quote! I think I'm going to crack and buy a Kindle but I'll never give up my library!
