this is what motivated me to switch to pdfs/ebooks. i can now read any of my books on my phone/laptop whenever i want with no planning required. although i know it’s not for everyone, and i am missing out on building up a cool bookshelf.
That’s the reason I don’t bulk upload books to my Kindle. Because I know I’ll be spending way too much time thinking about what to read next. Instead I only acquire books when I’m done reading one or close to it. And I only get more than one when they’re in a series.
This is what I do as well. Just know that you will still get judged by “real book people” for having a bookshelf of pristine, unread books even though you’ve read all of them.

Yes. With an ebook reader, I can now not read the 500 books I carry!
I mean, there are just too many to choose from!

I do the same with any kind of queue, put stuff in it then never follow through because there are too many choices.
I worry about my rather irreplaceable ebook reader. So sometimes I don’t bring it out of fear for its safety. I should have a hard shell built for it.
Irreplaceable? They don’t make it anymore and can’t find a suitable replacement?
Buy the paper, pirate the ebook, cool shelf acquired

I don’t invite judgemental assholes into my home
