I've spent a good chunk of the year making ebooks from out-of-print dead tree books. Proofing and formatting takes a ton of time. Nobody reads them but me.
You'll be that guy that records old shows on VHS and when he died the only record of old shows was donated to an archive/museum. A priceless contribution to humanity.
If you don't mind, archive.org has a place where you can upload them.
Do you have these online somewhere?
you should upload them to archive.org!
