I love wishlists, because I stuff my wishlist instead of stuffing my owned works.

I mean, digital hoarding can be a thing, but it definitely lacks many of the problems that come with hoarding physical objects. I say that in case this isn't the only area it's coming up in your life, because it is something you can look into more if it causes you any legitimate stress beyond just having a big kindle collection. Anyway, if it's not causing you any problems, it's fine to collect to-read lists and pick a book from it now and again!

I mean, not be be an enabler or anything, but I'm pretty sure that if the acquisition and retention of STUFF is not becoming an encumbrance to your life, then it's not hoarding per se. Doesn't mean it can't be a problem, though. Excessive spending, excessive shopping, and excessive obsessing over potential acquisitions can all be unhealthy behaviors in their own right.

You're in a good position because the things you're acquiring don't take up physical space, and are likely not all that expensive individually (therefore giving you more leeway before you reach a point where your acquisition behaviors become financially problematic). However, it sounds like the compulsive drive to acquire more that you're experiencing is making you feel agitated and unhappy, more than soothed and satisfied. It's good that you're aware of that. Maybe the next step is to decide whether it's enough of a problem for you that you genuinely want to do something about it. Or is it one of those behaviors that's maybe not ideal, but fuck it, whatever; you need the dopamine, it's not doing any real damage, and you've got other shit to worry about.

I don’t consider it hoarding but I guess maybe it could be depending on what kind of volume you’re talking here. I have a lot of unread books on my kindle but they take up only a tiny fraction of the storage space and now that Kindles are WiFi only, it’s extremely helpful for me to have a giant selection across multiple genres already on my device. I almost never know what I’ll want to read next and I often finish whatever I’m reading when I’m backpacking and therefore off grid.
