I can't see why not. It's rather like asking why you keep dt books that you've read.

I get rid of books that I think are a waste of time. I recently bought an historical novel because I went into a bookshop and spoke to the author who was doing a book-signing. She persuaded me that I might enjoy a particular book so I bought the Kindle edition. In the event, by the time I'd read 30% I realised that it was decidedly not for me, so I deleted it from the Kindle. If it had been a dt book, I'd have given it away or thrown it out.

If I read a book and really like it OTOH I might well want to reread it or look up something in it, so I really appreciate being able to carry it around along with unread books.
