Financial - if you looked up broke in the dictionary you wouldn't see my picture--(because I couldn't pay for it!)
Oppression and hate for capitalism don't really enter into it for ebooks (IMO) as most writers AREN'T commuting between their Beverly Hills mansion, their NYC penthouse, and their yacht.
Part of it is "Because I can/hoarding" but there are many good authors whom I would never have noticed without this forum.
I have thousands of books, and with my current financial troubles, they are sitting in storage at the moment. I already had to pawn all my many DVDs and video games, so a digital format lets me re-read/watch/play old favorites and new offerings.
A weird part of my mind also sees me as a "curator of lost things," collecting books, movies, games, etc., in case the older ones disappear forever. Okay, so the library is only for one person at the moment...
