Once I went digital, I never looked back. And ebooks for me are my phone or a tablet. When I was young, I got books from the school library. Or ordering books from Weekly Reader (great fond memory).
When we were first married, I'd buy paper back books that I already had at home and hadn't read yet. When we moved, I gave away 2 huge garbage bags of books that had been lining various shelves around the house.
I started a new collection with the new house (24 years ago). Still with the propensity to buy books intending to read them. Forget about them, and then buying them again.
Not so today. Unless it's a technical book I can't get as an ebook, I don't read paper any more. Good riddens. All the fond memories of reading paper books are not enough for me to give up the many advantages of reading on my phone or tablet.
