Message: [QUOTE="StopTheCatastrophe, post: 351258, member: 1975"] Both ways, depending on the book and situation. If it’s one of my ~5 favorite authors, and I want to keep the physical book on my shelf, I get a hard copy (used or library if less-than-favorite). If it’s a book I’m interested in reading but not in having physically long-term, I get e-book version. Most books I don’t want to keep physically, I don’t believe in filling bookshelves as a conceited shallow symbol. My e-reader (by a company I dislike) is super convenient for reading when commuting, it’s lighter weight and easier to hold than a large book, it’s easy to put in a jacket pocket or small bag. Some books are only available in one format or the other. People should be using the benefits of each. [automerge]1760966544[/automerge] Like videogames or music or shows or movies, many books are mediocre, and you have to find the great ones (in your opinion). I recommend trying to find authors you like, and then reading books by them. It’s nourishing. [/QUOTE]
