I'm in agreement on buying no more paper books. And I'm doing very well at it. The only exceptions in the last two years are a couple of technical books (that I got someone to give me, so I guess that's not an exception), and a couple of cookbooks. I still much prefer to have my working recipe in paper form, so even if I only have the cookbook in eBook format, I print out the actual recipe to work from. My tablet does NOT go into the kitchen when I'm cooking.
I have resorted to getting a couple of DT books recently from the public library. They simply weren't available in eBook format. And in both cases, I was reminded that I really don't like reading DT books - I can't control the font size, for one thing.
