I bought a Michael Z. Williamson paperback from Amazon last week. It arrived yesterday, and as soon as I opened the package I realized that I had bought the book in hardbound when it first came out last year.
It ain't easy being a bibliophile ... especially one who doesn't file his books by author and release date!
Okay, just start by saying your name and the confession that you are a biblioholic (and that totally should be a word if it isn't).
Have to admit that ebooks have made things a lot harder. Now not even "no more shelf space or space for shelves" can be used as a way to limit the purchases.
I have books stacked six feet tall next to my bookcases and I'm still buying books. I subscribe to the belief that one does not have too many books, one has too few bookshelves.
I feel your pain.

Kindle does let me know if I have already bought it from kindle.
