Getting rid of books

The Unclutterer blog has an article about getting rid of books you'll never use/read again or that are freely available online.

I have nearly 1,000 books and I think it might be about time to get rid of some myself. I don't know why I have so many books. I guess I am just an information junkie. Every time I see a book on some arcane topic that I am interested in at the moment, I feel like I need to buy the book just in case I can't find it again. That urge has lessened with the advent of the internet, which is why I haven't bought many books lately.

I just can't toss these books, though. I would feel very guilty about that. I was thinking of doing the Bookcrossing thing, but getting rid of one book at a time would take forever. Some people have suggested half.com and I see others selling on amazon.com. Is it really worth the trouble of selling books for less than $5 apiece (trade paper)?
