I still have some bins of books I won't part with, but I have gotten rid of so many. I especially like to read mysteries on my Kindle. It's not like you re-read mysteries unless it's an old Agatha Christie or something ... there is no point in heaving bins of those around.

I have one of the older Kindles, but I may upgrade now that I've seen my husband's new Fire. Can't decide. My Kindle is so light (which is very important now that I've got arthritis - and I'm sure when my eyes go I'll be happy to be able to enlarge the print). I'm really glad I switched.
