No I can't afford to purchase them at present, but I would certainly be happy providing you with a nice disposal service for those unwanted texts.
Sorry... mostly cheap raggedy paperbacks.

I expect this, too. Printed books (and possibly higher quality non-subscription magazines) will become boutique items, great for special gifts, while most reading will happen on a screen of some sort.
