Serious, like average 200 books a year. I have multiple Kindles, but I still love being able to read a book in print.
I used to love going to the used bookstores and hunting around for new things to read or old copies of my favorites. I lived at the library as a kid and I still love (loved) walking around, browsing, checking out the stacks. The smell of a library and used bookstore is different than the smell of a new bookstore somehow, but I love the smell of a printed book.
I used to spend hours in Barnes & Nobel when I was REALLY poor and bought a cup of coffee at their coffeeshop in the store and just read whatever book I was in the middle of that I couldn't afford to buy but could read in the store. I also read a lot of magazines there. They didn't mind.
Can't get that sensory effect with my Kindle.
