Gauging Interest: 15,000+ eBook Library.

I've been collecting Ebooks for the good part of a decade. The books are in mostly MOBI and EPUB formats. The library is split into fiction and non-fiction and covers classics through new (2014) books, with more added every week.

The fiction section is heavy on Science Fiction & Fantasy, Mystery & Detective, Horror, Thriller & Suspense from all the best known authors and a little of everything else. (12,000 books)

The non-fiction section is heavy on History, Science, Biography & Autobiography and a little of everything else. (3000 books)

The library would be copied to a 32Gb flash drive loaded with the portable version of Calibre.

The library is very clean and the books all readable, and I have edited the metadata and added the covers. There are no duplicates.

I have been thinking about offering it up for sale on the Darknet, but before I do, would like to get an idea if this is something that would sell at all. What do you think?

No. Not worth it.

I can find pretty much any book on the clearnet for free, which means everyone else can.

I mean, you might get a couple sales but I doubt you'd get enough to make it worth the investment.

You shouldn't sell it. Give a gift to everyone; information!

Id buy it for a decent price. Although our view may differ there

Maybe someone can buy it for a friend/relative who loves reading but is not very good at searching for digital books and publications? I have an elderly aunt and I always bring a usb drive when I visit her so I can transfer ebooks to her tablet.
