I can relate to both points. I think soon I’ll be able to comfortably part with anything available on Project Gutenberg, which will free up a fair bit of space. And I at least won’t be buying cheap used copies of anything on Gutenberg either.

Th eReader was a good alternative to purchasing new books and reducing the related storage issues. That said, I still am a sucker for a good used book store…

The not-so-obvious part of that is, no matter what I’m in the mood to read, I probably have it with me. I have classics, fiction, non-fiction, reference … you name it. Like you said, having a device save my place is a nice feature too. I also have found that I read a lot more magazines, especially classic ones, with my eReader.
