If you've any more that you don't consider worth selling on Amazon, a local charity shop, church, etc would happily accept your book donations, more useful than going into a recyling bin!

I don't often read books more than once, but I thoroughly enjoyed the Stieg Larsson books second time round, they were easier to follow because I remembered some of the plot, but the ending (of the 1st book) was still a surprise because I couldn't remember who'd dunnit!

As a Kindle user in the UK the lack of library lending is a negative, but the number of reasonably good free books available legally just from Amazon alone (plus the 99p Kindle Daily Deal books) means investigating the darknet isn't that attractive. Although there are of course plenty of people out there who just like to get latest releases and bestsellers for free.
