There was an article on the news the other day that said ebooks are outselling paper books. The demise of paper books (real books) is at hand? Is it possible?? Could it really happen? I see more and more people reading their ebooks or their tablet... and it makes me wonder. So far, I have resisted the urge to buy an ebook reader... having quite a backlog of unread books to work my way through at the moment anyhow. Plus, I do like to buy recycled books at the local second-hand bookstore. I can trade in my old books and get some "new" books for me...
But still, at some point... it will make more sense to get an ebook reader... At which point I will be faced with the ultimate dilemman for an avid reader and book lover... what to do with all of the "real" books on my shelves!?
To be honest, I have decluttered and let go of a lot of my paper back books over the years. As I read books, I continue to purge and let go of ones that no longer hold my interest. But... to let go of all of them? What would I put on my bookshelves??? What would I do with my bookshelves?? My rooms would look so bare without all that furniture! Or are we headed to a world of minimalism... no CD racks... no book shelves...
Hmm... for now... I debate and dither... It is enough for me to be letting go of CDs... we'll give the books a while yet!
