'tis good.

When I saw thread title my first thought was you were trying to liberate old books in captivity. Strange things I think sometimes.

Ebooks are the work of the devil.

Then I was right all along, they're incarcerated and longing for release.

We have given away many of our old books to charity shops, much preferring our Kindles. :)

I've not used a kindle but I can see how good they are if people are short of space. Husband has one which he uses on holiday, I take a couple of books with me and often buy one when away in UK. There's always the odd afternoon or time when I'm not doing much so I read, it's relaxing. Like you LR I donate old books to charity shops, ones I'm not likely to re-read (some came from charity shops). I suppose we may have to cull when we retire and downsize.
