If you read the comments at the end, many people blame e-books for part of this.
I can't see any logic to destroying something that could be sold, especially if they are valuable antiques.
I do almost my reading on my e-reader, but I also have a library of DTBs that I do not want to destroy or sell. Many of them are books my father gave me or older books I've collected over the years. Others are reference works.
I think we do need to keep repositories of paper books, etc. Funding issues are a reality that need to be addressed though.
