That is very similar to the Sherlock Holmes complete edition that I purchased many, many years ago and which I greatly enjoyed, but my Kobo Aura is considerably more convenient, and the stories are just as vivid and entertaining as when I first read them on paper.

But to address the topic of the thread, it really depends on my mood. There are times I read ravenously, and times when I'm more sedate. It makes no difference if it's a physical book or my e-reader, although these days it's pretty much my Kobo exclusively just because of the convenience. As someone once said, an e-reader will never be as impressive as a shelf full of books, which is probably true, but I can't fit a shelf full of books in my pocket.
