does anyone do this already? If you do what makes it worth it? (i think it's a pretty cool idea, i'd like to see the volume of space all of the books i've read takes up)

That's one of things on my imaginary to-do list when I (hypothetically) win the lottery. I would totally back-up all my physical books on an e-reader and for the books I REALLY love, I would purchase the 1st edition hardcover. Ahh... it's nice to dream, yes?JessiAnne26 wrote:If you had a lot of money would you have all of your books on an e-reader and in hard/paperback/physical copy?

Since I get most of my books from the library I have found that often one form is overlooked. An e-book may have a long waiting list while the paper or audio form is available to check out today. Sometimes it goes the other way and the paper book has the long waiting list. I try to find all the options and choose the shortest.
I don't buy e-books that I want to keep because I am not convinced that the technology is good enough to allow me to keep an e-book long term. (Info that was stored on disk 20 years ago is now useless, but books from that time are still readable.)
