1. Save a tree
2. Less clutter
3. Read in bed with no light
4. Take reading everywhere without need for carrying multiple books
5. Why am I bothering answering this question in the premier ebook reading forum on the internet?
You can continue to donate your books to charity. I wonder though, would the charity prefer a nice check I write that they can spend in the exact way they need in order to satisfy the chartity's goals or would they rather have some old book laying around that someone may or may not read? I'm sure the charity is happy to receive just about anything - your books or my money. I'm certainly not going to throw away my ebook reading device just so I can give books to a charity though. When you posted this, did you even consider how silly that would sound? Or how silly it is on a forum dedicated to people who love mobile reading devices?
P.S. This post has given me a good idea. I'm going to dedicate one of my devices to a charity and load it with a ton of freely available books. They can then lend out the device to those in need and people can read thousands of free books. It will save the charity money because they don't have to pay to store the old books and they can share thousands of classics with people who are in need and want to learn.
