The only books I delete are the ones I really didn't like/couldn't get into.
I like having an organized library with me wherever I go. I also give recommendations to people, and it helps to be able to go through my books and find out what I think they would like. I'm OCD, and I think my reader looks better aesthetically with a lot of books on it. It would bother me too much to delete them after I read, even if I kept a backup copy on my computer/external HD (which I do). It doesn't bother me to go through my list, because a lot of times I just swift through it real fast, or I run a search because I know what i'm looking for (before I read a book, I tend to look it up on goodreads .. I make my decision there).
