I do all my book purchasing through my computer only, where they go right into my Calibre Library with Uncle Alf's touch and there they stay forever. I transfer only what I want to read to my reader (Kobo Glo HD atm), but I'll keep between 500-600 books on the reader at a time and just swap in others when that gets low. Even if I go out of town unexpectedly for a few weeks or even months, I have plenty to choose from without having to stop and bother to stock up the reader first. After I finish a book I delete it from the reader and mark it as read in Calibre, but it stays on my PC and backed up to several other hard drives and in the cloud.
I paid good money for those books, why would I just throw them away after I've read them since space is no longer an issue. There are certain books I like to reread, but even for those I won't reread, I won't just delete them.
Now utter garbage books with horrid formatting and not even likable in any sense and giving me only irritation while reading it will get deleted, but those usually don't even make it to being read past a few pages.
