I just had a nostalgic thought about physical books. When our kids were young, we told them that if they wanted a book, we would buy it for them. We would make family trips to Barnes & Noble and those were always very fun times for our family. The kids were always very appreciative and all smiles over their new books. And us parents were all smiles buying those books.
Things just aren't quite as fun with digital books. We still buy books for the kids. But of the digital variety the vast majority of the time. It costs a pretty penny to ship physical books (or anything else, for that matter) to one of the kids who lives in Hawaii.
So while I can honestly say that I very rarely buy physical books these days, there is a downside of not doing that that just struck me as I was reading this thread and had my nostalgic moment. I kind of miss those physical books and the family bookstore trips of years past...
