Re: Ebook or paper book?
Traditional books are bulky and easily damaged.
Where as e-Books require charging, storage space, a wifi connection...
I guess I prefer e-books by a slim margin, they're just more convenient most of the time

Paper books for the experience - the physical connection with the book, the happiness of owning a personal copy and the freedom to fold pages and use a custom bookmark.
E books for the convenience - Own as many as you can and never worry about space crunch, carry them anywhere and read them even in the dark.
Besides, it's the content that makes any book readable and readworthy. Happy reading!

But the thing is, I move a lot. I relocate a lot. I move countries, apartments, cities a lot. And books are heavy. So in the past few years, I've rebuilt my library into a virtual one. I've decided that when I finally settle in a place for long-term, I will have a physical library once again.
