My purchase of paper books has gone to almost zero. When I do get one, it's usually as a present. I still have several thousand paper books in the library, but the wife and I have occasionally discussed reducing it a bit. Ebooks are much easier on the wrists and take up less room. There's a bunch I'll hold on to because they have sentimental value or aren't in electronic form yet, but that's less than half the total.

My children don't raid the library much. They'll have interest in specific ones, but I don't see them reading books. Most of their reading is on their phones. I don't know how much of the library will be kept after us.
