We had a garage sale some years ago, and couldn't give old fiction books away. As far as DVD's...check some you've had for 15+ years. There is a good chance the disc has degraded and can no longer be played. Even when stored in good covers away from light, the physical disc can and will deteriorate. And out of our large collection of DVD movies, very few would be wanted by family members. Because the younger generation has moved away from physical containers for their shows/movies/music. One big exception to the above...vinyl records. They don't deteriorate if well cared for. And they sound better on a good system. |

The civil contracts that claim that about digital products may be illegal and invalid. No content provider is going to sue a descendent that has been given a digital library for personal use, in case they lose. They would have to prove a loss. It's not at all like digital content copied to all and sundry or uploaded and shared or sold on the Internet. |

Yeah, the only heirloom book I have is a copy of David and the Phoenix that my mom read as a kid. And since the book is widely available in print and digitally, the main appeal is its age as a physical object. I can't imagine anyone will want the collection of 1's and 0's that make up my digital library.
