This is something I have to tackle, too. Most of my paper books are in English, and I live in Germany, so the easy way of donating them to family or neighbors doesn't work well. Likewise with charities, actually. Putting the boxes on the attic only delays the issue. So, I can either dump them in the trash, which I can't bring myself to, or sell them on ebay. The latter is tedious and probably not worth the trouble and expenses. Basically, all options are unappealing.
I have about 120 "Go" (the board game) paper books, which I could probably sell as a bundle -- quite a few are OOP and fairly rare --, but I'm emotionally attached to them. I guess I could keep those, especially since they are likely to retain their value (Go books are generally printed in tiny editions in the west) as collectibles. I would probably regret if I ditched them.
It's hard to break attachment.
