So while it was hard to get hold of at the time of writing, L. is right - not giving it even a mention seems a large oversight in an article of this nature. @Erin: Yes, it did – you guys did an article about it just two weeks after this post was written, mentioning that it had been hard for Amazon to keep in stock since its November ’07 release but that they were now able to ship immediately (and Wikipedia confirms the November ’07 release date).

Thu, 16 Apr 2009 13:06:50 +0000 http://unclutterer.com/?p=1157#comment-31902 No mention of the Kindle? It is not a perfect or only solution. You can't get all books on there, and many (most?) people value the tactile experience of a "real" paper book. But it is great for more popular or common books, or for those books you don't need/want to have in paper form, and will help declutter your shelves for the ones you do. Many older books are available in e-form free. In general the books are cheaper than buying a new paper one. Sometimes the older books are cheaper than buying used. Again, not perfect--you cannot resell or give away due to the DRM--but I like this option for light reading like mysteries; I will read them again but I don't want those 8 million paperbacks cluttering up my shelves. So over time I will slowly transition that type of reading over to the Kindle. No mention of the Kindle? It is not a perfect or only solution.

I limited myself to 200lbs worth of books, which is a ridiculously small amount for someone who used to own close to 10,000 volumes. In my new life, I firmly apply the 'rules' set out in this article--create boundaries and don't keep anything that you can find in a library or online or just to impress people. I wrote an ebook about my decluttering journey and how I dealt with books takes up most of a chapter.
