I wonder why people feel the need to dismiss and pump up paper books so much. Both formats have advantages and drawbacks.<br /><br />Pat, moving is hard on collections, but it does help show what's most important to you.Sandra Ulbrich Almazanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15365908651235829765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18714294.post-60419244797823904392015-07-15T08:56:13.613-05:002015-07-15T08:56:13.613-05:00Like you I trimmed my collection significantly whe...Like you I trimmed my collection significantly when I had to move a couple of times.

Pretty much none of my books have value outside of their intrinsic value of the information inside. Much like you, I spent much of my life living in limited space so books have been read and sold or borrowed from the library. The kindle has changed that somewhat now. I hoard books on the kindle because they can all be stored in the cloud where my space isn't taken over.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13096021087395266714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18714294.post-40823072241372756722015-07-15T04:39:35.719-05:002015-07-15T04:39:35.719-05:00I love displaying my books, so much so that having...I love displaying my books, so much so that having them in boxes now, preparing for a trans-Pacific move is too much to think about. I love arranging them and making them pretty and clearly visible to anyone who might come in, and giving up any book for any reason is difficult. I'm definitely a book hoarder in that regard.<br /><br />https://njmagas.wordpress.com/<br /><br />Nickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01642441412416045045noreply@blogger.com
