I mostly read library books on my reader. I read them and delete them. Because of this, I tend to think of my ereader books in general as transient. Many times I have had to stop myself from deleting a book I own after I finished it. And really, I probably wouldn't mind much if I did delete. I strip the DRM from my ebooks and I guess I could give them all to my daughter some day, but really I don't think of them in the same way that I think of my pbooks, which are a collection to be proud of. The problem is, my "collection" is now fixed in time since I have stopped buying pbooks almost entirely. If I read an ebook that really, truly blew me away, maybe I would want to buy a handsome hardcover of it. But so far it hasn't happened.
