1. Why not donate them somewhere?

My local library keeps a cart full of donated books, with a little collection box on the side - people can take a book off the cart and pay what they want, or not pay at all. If not a library, some second hand stores stock books and might be glad of a donation. Like you, I'm constitutionally unable to throw books away - but I'm happy to give them away when I can.
