If I had the money, space, and ideal book shelf, I’d perhaps buy books as I like to support the authors and local/small bookstores although I love reading on my Kobo Clara. I can read in any lighting situation and can easily take notes, look up and add words to my notes, and don’t have to worry about late returns. Most of the stuff I read I get free from Libby and can get just about any classic for Free and there’s plenty of storage for tons of books. For art books and zines I like to own but don’t collect those as much these days. There are tons of art and photo books I’d love to own but I’m happy with my Kobo for now. I do also take my son to play at the library and we leave with a stack of books. Let’s me browse all the new stuff as well and will sometimes grab one for myself.
