Anyone with Nectar should use the Oxfam tag-a-bag scheme.

HOARD.

I have a lot of books, and am a Luddite when it comes to e-readers. Won't have one.

Chalk me up as someone else who doesn't understand this idea that you get a Kindle because the books will be cheaper. Isn't it rather all about convenience?

It is about convenience and I've found Kindle books more often than not to be more expensive than paperbacks.

I moved house a few months ago, both my gf and I have hundreds of books, we threw out hundreds, trying to stick with books that we may read again.
I like my apartment to be decorated and furnished in a modern, clean way with very little clutter, however, I personally like the look of a nice bookshelf filled with well-kept books.
If you are a keen reader and don’t regularly dump stuff then the paper fuckers can take over your house.

Not if you use online libraries they give us books for free. Even a couple local libraries here have whoops to borrow
