@jesusredeemedme2425 I do ebooks to limit shelf space and have all books in one place

Physical books for me

I am torn on this one. I have a good amount of both. For years I collected physical books and accrued enough to fill a couple of bookshelves full. Then I moved continents and realized I needed to downsize my collection. I like a physical book better overall If it comes down to having to choose one or the other. The reason being is that staring at screens hurts my eyes after a while and I don't want cataracts later in life. The obvious plus to e-books is that you can accrue many more titles and they are available anytime anywhere forever with a click of a button. So that is a pretty big plus, but I still have to be on team physical book, even though its a hassle when you have to move.

E-books! Super convenient and my phone is a lot less heavy than physical books. 😅

Physical books. Don't have to worry about charging or losing power, or dropping it.

Physical books, because I'm not good with technology and I've been reading physical books for decades.

@jesusredeemedme2425 Probably contrary to many folks but I prefer my Kindle 9 times out of 10. While I like the idea of physical books, the reality is having them digitally is more convenient in the now. I may regret it some day though.
