If you delete the books that you're unlikely to ever read or reference again you don't need to know.

In the past of course one could have given them away, taken them to a second hand bookshop, offered them on AbeBooks, or left them on a bus, park bench etc. Now we horde countless copies of non-fungible so-called digital-assets. Well not quite non-fungible, if one deletes them one can at least reuse the bits they occupied. Which is not unlike keeping the dust that gathers on dead tree books before you give them away…
