Unless you are renting paper books from the library you are dumping
more paper. I hated to get rid of my paperbacks but they consume so
much room. I like to go back to books I have read from time to time.
With my Kindle there are no more paperbacks and once I finish a book
it goes to the Cloud where I can retrieve any time I want. My Kindle
allows me to create files for certain type of books - author, subject,
whatever so I can retrieve easily whatever I want. And, of course,
with BookBub I get thousands of books free or for $.99 or greatly
discounted delivered direct to my Kindle within a minute of ordering.
I see no way to lose. But, electronics isn't for everyone.
