for me, it's a bit silly; maybe stems from my experience with software..
I generally download whatever seems interesting to me, and whatever I can ( eg: all science, science fiction, etc.. but no romance or westerns)
Once I got them, downloaded from a site, I'll probably start reading 10%
After which I probably throw away another 10% as 'trash'.
a 20% will be left untouched and forgotten, while another 20% will be ready but always in the waiting list due to lack of time... another 5-10% I came to know is what I have double, so needs to be erased.
Unfortunately only 10% of the books read I find so good that I make efforts to buy them!
30% of those books I actually end up buying, and 5% of the unbought books I recommend a friend to buy.
usually around that time I feel it's time to move on to the next hobby, and I probably will find something else that captivates my attention, like learning a new game (Like Japanese GO), or playing an instrument....
The remainder of unbought books inevitably end up on a burned DVD in a closet, untill the DVD becomes sunreadable over time.
Then the hard part of throwing the dvd away with all the others has to happen; unless I see future in it, and I can recover some bits of info on a Flash memory card or so...
Then I keep it for another 2 years, untill it's so outdated, that no single program out there still reads the format!
I guess that'll be the story for me, but for now, I'll just go with it, and not worry...
