My novel collection is gone, all but about 5 books that I'm going to have OCR'd. However, it was an easy decision because I had permanent vision damage. The ones I would have missed the most were kept until recently. Now that I have ebooks of them, it's easier to part with them. They really loved them at the Senior Center. Several were taken out right away for reading.
I sympathize. It's a painful process because you are attached to them. My one sister is currently going through this process because she has a small house with no more space. However, think of the space you will have. Most of those books are not rereads. Pass them on to others. Keep the rereads because they are friends. I use my bookshelves to store my craft projects and supplies now. Much easier access and the shelves are still in use.
Make sure that you have copies of your ebooks on a flashdrive or something stored with someone else in case of fire, theft, tornado, hurricane, or other calamity.
