I checked the 'only purchase e-books' choice before reading people's comments. I haven't bought a fiction pbook in at least three years, but I was reminded I did purchase a couple of coffee table books for $5 apiece when Borders went out of business last year.
I just put my house on the market. As part of getting ready to move, I hauled 20 boxes of old books to Half-Price Books, many of which had been sitting in storage the whole 14 years I have lived in this house. I went from having over 2000 fiction pbooks to about 300. The ones I keep are either personal favorites or old books that might sell for more on ebay than what Half-Priced Books would offer, assuming I ever get motivated to set up an ebay account to try to sell them. (Is there a market for novels based on old 1970s TV shows like The Man from Atlantis, Buck Rogers, Six Million Dollar Man, Space:1999, etc.?)
