I can’t help but always worry that one day I’ll need paper books. I don’t know what it is, but I feel like I should start collecting paper books instead of every single book I have is on my Kobo. Which do you do? If you get paper books, is there a source that sells cheaper books. Books are kind of pricey where I look.
Most definitely digital. I really don’t see any advantage of physical books over digital, besides that some look pretty.
I can read in bed without having a bright light, I can lie in bed and don’t strain my hand to keep the page open, I can modify font/font size/spacing, I can buy a digital book and read it right away, I can take thousands of pages with me on vacation and only need the space of a small brochure, I can real-time translate words I don’t know.
Just overall the better experience for me.
I prefer ePub. Much more convenient for me than a paper book.
- I simply don’t have the space to physically store a lot of paper books
- It’s much easier to bring my Kobo with me when commuting or traveling
- Much easier for me to buy eBooks than physical books
- Even though I’ve been having my device for like 8 years, I’m still fascinated by how cool the e-ink display is
On the other hand, paper books have only one thing to offer that sometimes holds:
- They’re all DRM-free, while some eBooks I’ve been wanting to buy are DRM-enshittified. Still hasitating about those, as I’m not willing to spend money on such books.
