"We also don't have any used book stores nearby. I've thought about donating most of my pbooks to a local thrift store, but for some reason can't bring myself to do so. Seems crazy considering I've changed over to ebooks almost exclusively and have waaaaay more than I could possibly read in a lifetime."
Me neither, it is a 3 hour drive for a secondhand or good new bookashop although some thrift shops nearby surprise me sometimes with print treasures. I am trying to cull my print book library but it is hard to get rid of old friends and references I may refer to again and again. I asked my son what he would do with my books when I die and he said he will send them all to a thrift shop....gave me palpitations indeed. Some I have paid up to $400 for and some are very rare and date back to 1800s, so now I am trying to decide if selling them to someone who will appreciate them is better than dying while still owning them...decisions decisions....getting rid of some may just kill me!!
