I'm also on the swap website and at first got rid of tons of books as I switched to ebook. It has *really* slowed down in the last year or so - I have lots of books on my swap site still available. I realize ebooks may lead to a diminished used book future - but I wonder if the cost of books will go down because people tend to buy "new" ebooks that that have money going to the pocket of the author (especially with self publishing) rather than used books which give nothing to the author. I buy a lot of used old books - especially elementary school science books - because the new ones are really crap.
