      I have moved suitcases of books between continents. Still, ebooks are amazing... there is no way I could move even a few percent of the books I have/read/etc.

        I view that as desecration, so I'm cool.

          Books, like all dreams, are meant to be destroyed.

            I have a huge bookcase filled, another improvised one on top of my stereo bench, filled, and a few in the closet. On 20 m2. There is more at my mum's. And she doesn't really have the space. So no. No there isn't.

              Classic grandpa. Has he ever given you Mega Bloks when you were a kid?

                I regularly cull my books btw. I only keep the ones I really like.

                  No but that was actually one of the best most useful gifts he's ever given us. He once gave us a coffee table book on auschwitz. Cause you know, that's great coffee table conversation

                  I love him dearly but he comes up with some really creatively bad birthday presents.

                    It could be worse. All my grandfather ever gave me was male pattern baldness.

                        Don't buy a Kindle. I have one and it sucks. Get a real tablet.

                          I hate the touch screen keyboard on my Kindle Fire HD. It just plan doesn't work properly plus the thing is rather under powered and lacking in ports.

                            Which has nothing to do with reading a book.

                            ACK!

                              I use the Kindle app on my phone.

                                I have a tablet. An iPad 2. My Kindle is for reading books, and it's great at it.
