If you like books and are in the US, I’ve had some success with paperbackswap.com. Can be good for getting rid of books you no longer want in exchange for ones you do. There’s a minor transaction fee charged to keep the site afloat, and of course shipping fees. But USPS has a media mail rate you can use that’s cheaper than first class postage.

That’s a really nice tip.

I still enjoy my paper based books, can completely disconnect and not be interrupted if I am offline and have my phone elsewhere.
