I'm single and no-one complains about the books, but I've been cutting down the paper books to art books, out of print technical stuff, my 1800s/early 1900s books, and a few dog-eared favorites... I expect that when I get done, I'll easily have less than 3000 paper books on hand.
E-books, though... I have those, lotz of those. Stored several ways, and I have a spare e-book reader in a Faraday bag from TechProtect, just in case we get some bad EMP from the sun or something.
In the last 5 years or so, I've read probably 95% of the books in electronic format. PDF, e-book, whatever.
