    I recently sold my house and in the process sold nearly 3000 old colored spine paperbacks, and close to that many newer nearly worthless paperbacks and hardbacks, so I know your pain. I've since acquired a Kindle eReader and have a kindle unlimited subscription which I've grown to absolutely love. Nothing can replace the tactile feel and smell of a book, but my apartment and life simply doesn't have the space for a physical library like I used to.

    Oh yeah, that sucks. At least I still have my books, even if I can't get at them right now.

    I looked into going the ebook route for the convenience and space-saving -- plus I find ebooks offer enough advantages over paperbacks to be worth losing the tactile aspect -- but getting older stuff in ebook form can be a pain in the ass, at least legally. Doesn't matter if I'm willing to pay twice for the same book for the convenience, if nobody will make it available :/
