My question is WHY anyone would want to carry hundreds or thousdands
of books with them at a time.  When I travel I always have a couple of
books and several magazines (and more if a long trip), but I can't see
any reason to have a hundred books with me.

Any easy explanation, other than the possibility that you were doing
dissertation research and all of the sources you needed were on your
kindle? (as if!!)
