I do however, willingly give a "misfire" buy (thought the paperback looked good in the store, but in the end went, 'meh') to someone for whom the novel/book is a better fit. That makes my frugal mind think the money is at least not ALL wasted.
I also love the Bookcrossing concept, where books are freely traded and given and in some cases a physical copy is successfully tracked in how far it has travelled. Try getting away with that with an e-book
That having been said, I also don't lend out my 'keepers'.
