I got rid of most of my paper books and I no longer look at even second hand bookshops with a fraction of the excitement I used to.

So, no.

For me, it's been a permanent replacement. Ebooks are better in every way. It's like that old saying in chess, 'play the board not the man'. It's the text that matters, not the medium, as long as that medium is ergonomic enough to become almost unnoticable.

Pbooks mean a cluttered house and tiny font sizes. I read my ebooks at 'visually impaired user' font sizes

: it's just more comfortable that way.
