I live in a pretty small house with two other adults and so storage space is always at a premium. A few years ago I got a Kindle and started converting some of my collection to electronic copies and purging the paper copies. Most of my purchases of new books now are digital.
In ye olden tymes when I was in college, if I wanted to get rid of a stack of books there were several used book stores in town. None of them are in business any more, so this is my current solution. The above is a picture of the Little Free Library on my front lawn. There are dozens of them in this neighbourhood and I am always finding new authors to check out.
Not everything new I buy is digital mind you, nor have I gotten rid of all my hard copies. I still only buy comics in hardcopy. I have some gorgeous pictures books and signed copies that I want to keep. And you will pry my Darwath Trilogy books out of my cold dead hands.
What do you do with old books? Is there still a currency in used books where you live? Do you love or hate e-readers?

Date: 2020-11-28 04:47 am (UTC)I have a Sony Reader which I don't use very much anymore because Sony stopped updating its firmware long before they gave up on eReaders so it stopped being able to connect to Overdrive to borrow library books yonks ago and it wasn't even compatible with the wifi at the university. These days I usually use my tablet to read. It organizes my massive library of downloaded fanfic better than the Reader but I do miss the lack of screen glare.
Another alibi sentence again. We'll see if the weekend holds more productivity.
