I just could not contemplate spending the time scanning all my p-books! Way too many and I can't see the point. I downloaded ebooks of classics and other out of copyright books and got rid of a lot of the tatty old paperbacks I'd owned for many years, but I like the bookshelves with all the books (some of which are quite old). These days I try to find textbooks in electronic format to save hauling them around and also taking up space which I would rather use for my more valued older books, but that is more a choice of what I want to keep around as part of my living space.
The ferrets are cute, but I would worry about them getting loose here in Australia. We have enough feral cats, rabbits, foxes, camels, dogs, goats and other introduced species causing havoc, ferrets would decimate the smaller marsupials.
