I'm not old enough to have those ancient MMSs. Most of what I have and want to read/reread I've replaced with ebooks. Some have no digital edition, but there are few of those. And it's not very likely I'll ever read them again, as I dislike paper books now.

By the time I started buying books in English in my twenties mass market paperbacks already cost $4-5 and the prices were rising. Before that I only read local books in Estonian.
