More books. I doubt this will be the last load. I've already blogged about a couple of there. Others are duplicates, things I will never read again, things I never read in the first place, the usual. Some are cheap paperback editions of the classics - these are available instantly on Kindle should I need to read them again. I don't really know when that's going to happen for The Digest of Roman Law.
Off to Friends of the Library.
Having said that, I have plenty of books in the public domain of which I am definitely keeping the dead-tree version. In many cases, these are books that have been translated from other languages. Some translations are better than others, and I've noticed that translated Kindle editions, especially the free/$.99 ones, get bad reviews on this score. I actually still read 19th century French literature because I like it, so this is important to me. So I got rid of Dickens and Shakespeare, but I'm keeping Zola and Balzac.
