This was my thinking and I wonder if someone might have suggested it already - I can't believe it was the first reply. In fact, I've got them in a bag to give away/sell. I would keep them but they're pretty big. Perhaps I'd better take them out and read them once more first as the books tend to have a lot of footnotes and that might not work as well with an ereader version.
