I did have a smidgion of remorse when I gave my first batch of pbooks to a charity store. But then I had to redecorate my study and observed two things; I have a lot of bookcases which do nothing but store books that aren't doing anything either. They are not being read but just sit there. I moved these books into another room so I could move the bookcases and they cover the floor of that room 10 - 15 deep.
So now I am getting rid of all but a few (eg have author's signatures) and not replacing the bookcases. I save space and money and clutter.
No remorse, but just like Lady Fitzgerald I am making sure I've scanned the ones I want and have backups - I re-read favourites so if I lost the electronic versions there would be some remorse, but these take of virtually no space at all.
