Anyone here use a Kindle or another e-reader device?

[Rain]

I read a lot of books, and have accumulated a relatively large amount of them by now.

As a minimalist, however, I hate clutter, and I generally think that collecting or acquiring material items is a useless endeavor. While it's nice to look at a small library of books--I find that glancing over the book covers on the shelves give me some kind of revitalizing energy--I know that it's purely psychological and all in my head.

Because of this, I'm considering getting rid of them--with the exception of my absolute favorites--and going 100% digital.

I'm a simple guy. Aside from a nice place, nice car, nice clothes, and nice but essential furnishings in my place (i.e., bed, desk, computers, couches), I basically have no possessions--just books.

Has anyone transitioned from physical books to digital books and never looked back?
