This so much this so much. When I moved I purged an entire lifetime of books. My kindle though? I was able to keep with every book on it and read it while traveling. Fuck paperbacks. (But also fuck vendor lock in which kindle really doesn't have a problem with but sort of does).It's interesting. I purge books like a mutherfucker. I recognize that nearly every book I own I've purchased used, and that publishers and authors have no secondary market participation, and that from an author's perspective, buying the book used is the same as torrenting it. Yet I pay for Kindle books because I like the convenience. I like being able to sync between two kindles and a phone, I like being able to read samples, I like being able to check them out from a library and read them on my device, I like knowing that my notes and bookmarks are preserved across the cloud.
