Books and minimalism

So I've been struggling, the book nerd in my abhors the idea of giving up my tangible paper books.  Unfortunately the minimalist in me is telling me to give up the paper and move to an e reader so I don't have books taking up space.  I need to reduce the amount of stuff I own...I keep feeling this odd sense of needing to minimlize, start doing the food is free project, donate to citizen radio, convert to a gf vegan, and just start living the way I feel I need to to live fully and compassionately.
