Sheena. Right there with you. I am very much about the physical and visceral aspects of books. But am moving on. It’s not so much about owning them as it is about having as many as possible move you.

I have a Kindle. Love it. The hardest part is having the bill show up on my bank statement and not physically OWNING the book.

I’m having to shift my mind from my physical bookshelf to an e-bookshelf.

But I did it with my iPod, and I think my Kindle and I will be good friends.

I’ve had my Kindle since Dec. 4th, having ordered it on announcement day Nov. 16th. I love it so much, that I no longer want to read analog dead tree books at all. I have 400 nbooks already, and expect it to exceed thousands using my 8 GB SDHC memory card. So what am I to do with my vast collection of hard bound books, to say nothing of my equally large collection of paper bound books.

One thing that I am considering, is to somehow sell all or most of my regular books. But I don’t know how to do that without the expense of a lot of my personal time, which I just do not have enough of already. Of course EBAY is an option, but it and similar book sellers of used books would cause me the same time problems.

So my question is how to sell this collection without causing me to dedicate lots of time to the effort, which I really cannot afford. And I really want my books to go to people who would appreciate them for their content as I have so far.
