Digital. No space for a bookshelf in my tiny little apartment, and I don’t need the social gratification of displaying a big impressive shelf full of books.
I don’t really care about the feel and smell of books.
My digital reader lets me read anything in OpenDyslexic font allowing me to read more, faster, with less energy expenditure.
I can look up any word with a long press
I can highlight and take notes without ruining the freshness of the book.
And most importantly of all: I can read on my side in bed without having to switch positions for every page.
I like physical books but I don’t buy them often. Like you, physical space limitations are a big thing. I love picking my own font and font size, and being able to easily read at night with white on black and an amber backlight is great.
I get most stuff from the library instantly without going anywhere, and strip drm from everything.
