One of my life goals is to build a cozy, dim-lit boudoir with Chesterfield sofas, a cocktail bar, reading lights, and a massive wall-to-wall library of curated books.

But because I’m living the nomad expat life, relocating continents and homes every so often, I have to settle for just a Kindle instead ☹️

Disagree. I’m not ashamed of the unread books on my shelves, which Nassim Taleb calls an antilibrary.

Can't say I agree with this. I've seen too many bookshelves full of books that people bought and "have to get around to reading someday". A book is not truly yours until it's in your mind, and once it's in your mind, it shouldn't matter if you own the physical copy.
