That seems very strange to me. Up until I got an ereader I'd never lived without multiple overflowing bookcases and boxes of books stacked in corners and under beds. From threads here it seems that that is a common reason why people got ereaders. Unless you reread them there is no point in keeping a read book instead of just tossing it afterwards. If people don't reread what's the point of having your own library as so many here have said they have? I have books I've been rereading since grade school like Burnett's "A Little Princess" and "The Secret Garden". In fact any book that I don't want to reread I consider a wasted purchase. Before my ereader I had 4 bookcases and 29 boxes of "keepers" and I only had that few because I didn't have room for more and had to cull my less favorites.
