Down to single bookshelf of physical books. My kindle library replicating it perfectly. Future goal would be a more open e-reader with physical book files.

Feels good to have wrangled my extremely large library down for this present stage in life.

Lighter = nimbler + more focused.

I’ve just purchased a Kindle a few months ago and it’s a game changer!

Amazon sucks but it's very convenient and a good intermediate step before exploring more open e-reader setups.

I agree except for the library. Isn't it nice to have some books shelfs around with nice titles in it to touch and feel the paper ?

I do have a single tall bookshelf.

Kindle means your books aren't in self custody.

"Future goal would be a more open e-reader with physical book files."

Sir read this and then GFY.

1. I have the same books from Kindle as physical copies.

2. When time/capacity permits, I plan to migrate to a better e-reader setup where I can hold onto book files directly.

Eyeballing the Xteink x4.

I’ve enjoyed by kindle for years, but it hasn’t slowed by steady collection of hardback physical books - sort of like stacking sats.
