Because nobody is reading the 30 books in my house (besides the few I may be reading). Just being practical, it's a waste of trees for everyone to have their own book at home (besides a few exceptions). Might as well go to the library and share them, or just read an electronic version -- otherwise it seems a waste of resources; something I'm especially aware of when I move them to a new place. While appreciating the importance of books, writing and learning, I personally want to avoid buying new paper books.

I am going to make like the guy in Ray Bradbury's short story The Murderer and murder all electronic devices! I just realized something else, if you're reading from a kindle and drop it, it is likely that it will break or won't work properly anymore (Not to say they work properly in the first place.), BOOM! There's a hundred or more bucks down the drain. When you drop a book, it will be alright.
