That's my sister's voice I hear. (lol)  But she doesn't have hundreds or thousands of books.  

I have so many, many books and I know darned well they are worth zip on any market.  It will likely be a big bother to get rid of them even free.   The good ones are all marked up,  the junk is junk.   (TPR's books are among the very well-marked.)   It wouldn't bother me if my kids each took a couple books each to remind them of their dear old bookish mum,  but the thought of them having to get rid of thousands of books somewhere (the dump?) is hard - I don't care for the books so much as for what my kids do with their time.  They sure couldn't tote them 1000+ miles to where they live to put them in storage at some ungodly cost only to be dumped by the grandkids.   

I am so glad for ebooks and audio books.  No storage- no dumping - no clearing out.  I still buy all sorts of books - paperback, hard-cover, ebook, audio but I've grown rather fonder of the Kindle for several reasons (not least of which is the variable font size).
