Do you have an example of notable examples of this in history? or a source of such events? I've never heard of such a case before, so it's quite interesting.
Regarding the book as holy property, special item: https://sureshemre.wordpress.com/2014/01/18/on-the-late-adop...
One such example is the delay of book printing in the osman cultural sphere.
Rest is on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quran_desecration#Respectful_d...
And in various scholar articles. Notice that its also a attempt to have cohension and prevent the forming of sects and cults.

Your point was that pious people, even today, would burn all owned books except the Quran as a show of their faith.

I can't seem to find this book. Do you have the author for it?

This is more about scribes being attached to their jobs so preventing the use of printing-press. That's nothing holy or religion related. Good old protectionism.

I am also confused what this has to do with the original statement. Quran as a book has a form of disposal, yes, and it's by burning, sure. Your point was about non-Quranic books.
> And in various scholar articles. Notice that its also a attempt to have cohension and prevent the forming of sects and cults.
Similarly, again, that is about religious texts and religious books.
Honestly, I am not sure where you got your claim from. As far as I can research, there isn't some widespread practice of "tendency for example among pious muslims to burn all books except the quoran at the end of life" ...
I also said "pious" and i think being deeply religous and a scholar of other sciences sort of exclude one another in modern times.
