    When you get right down to it, that’s true for everything. Everything self-destructs eventually. So, that seems like a strange reason to destroy it prematurely.

    Of course, if it’s your book, you can do whatever you want with it. It just seems needlessly wasteful.

      Well… Because it’s not wasteful at all. The point is to make it easier to read. As long as you’re not rough with it, all the pages should stay in, and then you can put both halves back on the shelf when you’re done (or just recycle it, since paper is one of the few things that’s actually recyclable). Nothing is being destroyed.
