Well, I won't be getting rid of all my CDs. I would be most inclined to get rid of American music that's easily replaced via iTunes, or old bootleg anime CDs, which I don't feel I really own anyway.
Still, I feel pretty secure in having stuff on my computer + backed up on an external drive. Something could happen to it, yes, but something could happen to the original CD, too. (I remember having to download the ending song to Orphen a few years ago because the CD was scratched up and I had never ripped it to my computer.)
I'm assuming not, or you wouldn't have considered getting rid of it.
Exactly right. In fact, the bunko version doesn't include any of the author's notes from the original editions, so if a person didn't own the series and was looking to buy it, I would recommend they go out of their way to track down used copies of the originals. I only got the bunko version because I was living in Japan and sad to be separated from the series.
