Funny this should come up, havent been in the forum much lately. Like the rest of you I am considering getting rid of my dead tree books. I love the smell, though, even the old musty dusty ones. I even went into a bookstore yesterday morning and took a good long sniff, to get that new book smell
However my reality is similar to some of you, I have multiple bookshelves full of paperbacks and books that belonged to parents: coffee table books, books on the war etc, and I am having trouble letting go. In a small (no, lets call it what it is - TINY) house where space is at a premium, I'm no longer sure I can allow books to take so much room. Especially since I almost never read them.
