I got my first Kindle a decade ago. I got my second and third Kindle in the years since, but while the divide is amazing (and imho, I wouldn’t even want more out of it at this point), it’s the library that is bumming me out.
When it comes to my physical books, I have a similar problem of over-accumulation. And yet, every year or so, I can go through it and clear out roughly an entire shelf, donate it, and have the satisfaction of looking at a diminished collection, perhaps a collection where I know where things are.
There is absolutely no way to do the same with my digital collection. I visited my Kindle library today and found a list of undifferentiated 290 titles in there.
Yes, there are collections.
Yes, I can go through the list and tag it with one or more collections.
That’s not good enough. I want to be able to see fewer items when I want. I wish I could get rid of old ebooks, just so I don’t feel burdened by looking at this list.
