>> Though bookshelf space is a problem so
I'm tending to think of books as disposable (so I buy a cheap paperback copy) or something I might want to keep (so I buy a nicely bound copy.) to try and keep storage down.

I think you probably meant to send this message to me (unless Nicholas is learning Spanish too). I kind of have to deal with the issue of expiring books too. The library lends a book for 21 days only ("only" for me because I have a lot of things on my plate and many different reading activities, besides just reading a library book). So what I do is turn my Kindle into Airplane mode. This way, even after they (the library) electronically expire the book (on my iPad) I still have it on Kindle as long as I keep in in Airplane mode.
