That's you though, and not us, and besides it is also false logic. If those had been non-DRM books you had owned as a teenager, which meant that moving them would be nothing like moving the 80 pounds of physical books they probably were, you would probably still own 90% plus of all your eBooks.
I've been there, having moved across the continent twice, so I know you likely got rid of those books because they were physical, and inconvenient to house and/or move; NOT because they were taking up slots in a digital library.
If you were reading trash almost exclusively as a teenager, then of course I am totally off-base and I apologize. In that case you would have still tossed them I am sure.
