Chopping up books when they're physically too big

    Well, I won't do it, as although books are mainly for reading, they also are beautiful products that I am not willing to destroy. They also look great on shelves and work as decor.

    I have faced the problem of books being too big. What I do is I just get an additional copy on my Kindle. For classics this is free, for newer ones, the price is one-sixth to one-third. This is justified because the need is rare.

    I read the physical book during the daytime at my home. I travel with the Kindle and take it to my bed.
