I generally only read books once, although there are some books that I come back to. But even if I don't read it again, I want the option to read it again if I want. For me, just deleting a book after reading it is like throwing it away. And throwing it away is sort of like throwing away a puppy after you're done petting it. (I exaggerate... slightly.) When I need to clear space on my bookshelves, I donate paper books that I know I won't want to read again. I need to find a home for them before I can get rid of them.
