One of the challenges brought on by the modern world of digital music is that it's alarmingly easy to acquire music faster than I can listen to it. I suspect ebooks have a similar issue if you get into them.

In related news, maybe I should get less new music on the next Bandcamp Friday. But, but, people keep releasing good new stuff...

@cks Same with books. Just get good recommendations. It's great to know you'll always have something good to read.

@cks So the argument I've made to myself is: I might not have the time to listen/read all of it. But if I like what I have already experienced, and I can afford it, I'll buy it.

I want this artist to be able to carry on making #music/ #books/ #art, and hey, the next thing they create, because they're in a financial position to carry on creating, might be something I completely fall in love with.

So even if I don't listen or read all of it, and in that sense it isn't 'good value' to me, it doesn't matter, that's not the main reason I'm buying it.

@cks I had that problem with books long before e-books existed.
