Have you seen it? I recommend it. Most of our bookshelves at home are like that. Crammed. I love browsing them.<br /><br />P - The space saving thing doesn't really bother me. I think books are nice to look at on shelves, the more the merrier!<br /><br />Treacle - Amazing site. My bookshelf doesn't rival those!<br /><br />Regular Lurker - It would have to be desperate times for me to store books on something. It's a bit like photos - yeah, it's good to have them all on a computer, but you don't get half as much joy looking at them on screen as having them in your hands. <br /><br />I like the idea of passing good books on to someone else, something you can't do with an e-reader. Not without paying for another copy, anyway.Please Don't Eat With Your Mouth Openhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09246896544080806179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30034378.post-48229362123471193062012-02-04T15:35:56.152+00:002012-02-04T15:35:56.152+00:00Pah!

Wait until you've insulated all the walls of your house with crammed bookshelves and have not an inch of space in which to put another, and then tell me you're never, ever, going to get a Kindle. I estimated once that I have around 4,000 books, stuffed into around 20 floor-to-ceiling bookshelves. My Kindle can hold 3,500. Plus whatever I store at Amazon.Regular Lurkernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30034378.post-63299562159959945362012-02-02T23:26:01.202+00:002012-02-02T23:26:01.202+00:00Have you seen bookshelfporn.com?

However :-<br /><br />(a) I didnt want one, didnt leave hints for one, or asked for one.<br /><br />(b) My brother is strapped for cash so the Kindle would've really eaten into his reddies.<br /><br />So now I guess I've got to get around to using it.

Reading Kindle at home happens, but a book's so much nicer. Out at work or commuting? Kindle all the way, I'm afraid.LyleD4Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01706220499503068278noreply@blogger.com
