In the last 5 years I've bought 1 paperback and two ebooks. Instead I have made use of the many book swaps that have been available on my travels. Swapping books is a great excuse to meet new people who may also be travelling.
However, now that I have my Kobo, the need to swap paperbacks has disappeared. I bought a kobo so that I would be able to borrow from my local library only to find that they don't offer the service!
I don't have a need to own books, unless they are cookery books of course and then I can rival any bookshop!
