For 13 years I bought used books, mostly paperbacks, that tourists brought to Oaxaca, Mexico, where I lived, and left them here. Three years ago I got a Kindle, donated my paper books to the English library, and quite haunting the two used paperback dealers. A few days ago I checked the larger of the two, the English Library, and pickings were slim. The library folks say that Kindles are eating into the number of books brought and abandoned.
