Then, your old books may be able to help someone less fortunate. Additionally, you may choose to sell your books rather than tossing them. In either case, someone else can learn from your materials. Another option to consider is to stop paying for paper books and subscribe to a service like Safari so you regain digital rights to all your Oreilly books and much more for one monthly fee. Then, you could use Safari or another service like your own personal digital library. Good luck with your decision.
