stretchpantson Ask PG: Do you still own books?

I have donated 90% of my shelves to the library replacing them with digital versions. The only books I'm keeping are first editions, rarities, art or photography books. I like the notion of paper books, had 5 large bookshelves full, but I hate moving with them and the Kindle/iPad setup is really quite nice.
