Same goes for pretty much all media: music, movies, shows, comics. I used to be all about carrying around a local collection of all of the above, but now I walk around with my head in the cloud  |
Yes, me too, but I still get the "cheap" paper bound or even hard bound at the dollar stores, thrift stores, church sales, and Amazon 1 cent + shipping sales.
There is something about just picking up a book and flipping the pages, and dropping a dollar (plus tax) on the counter. Almost like the bygone days of the corner or mall bookstore. (Except that was more than $1.00 -- except on closeout fire-sales.)
