No, 'cause I still do it. The only ebooks I buy are reference texts.
I only
read paper books, mainly off remainder tables, from street side libraries, or used book shops. Once I've read a book I put it in a street side library; until they sprung up I'd leave them at bus stops, on park benches, sometimes give them to op (thrift) shops, or do swaps at second hand book shops.
One of my local shopping malls has a reading room with donated books, if you take a book you're expected to reciprocate by leaving a book, same as the street side libraries.
