I don't collect paper books and never really have (except I did have a nice teaching book collection and passed that on to my kids), but I cannot stand the thought of destroying a book. If I had the physical book, I'd probably give it away or keep it to read, but I wouldn't do a trade. To me, it's not the format of the book that's important. Ebooks are more convenient, to be sure, but if I already own the book in paper format, I wouldn't "need" to get it in digital format, as my purpose is not to collect books.
