I have thought of scanning some old crochet magazines I have (and then probably sell them on eBay) but I'll keep most of my craft books, most likely. Some I buy like art books for the pretty pictures.

I doubt I'll use the Cybook for the patterns, though--just PDF them, save them to CDs or a thumb drive (and I've got my eye on an external hard drive, too), and then print them out as I use them. I usually make photocopies of patterns while I'm working with them anyway, because they get really banged up when you carry them around. A photocopy can be folded, spindled, mutilated, highlighted, scrawled upon, etc. as necessary and then tossed when I'm done.

I already have a pretty nice collection of PDF public domain pattern books, especially of 19th century tatting and crochet books.
