    Paperback or ebooks? I’ve grown to think most paperback books aren’t worth the money.

      I still prefer paperback books, even if I’m struggling to find more space at home for them.

        Preference aside, because I agree with you, they’re a waste of money and space and natural resources if you only read them once or twice.

        I don’t feel that way about reference manuals or books you use to look things up in, though.

        Again, to be clear, I prefer handling books. I have many shelves of them. But… It’s illogical these days.

          Yes, you’re right. I bought a Kindle but haven’t used it much as I am still going through my book backlog.

          As they say: you will own nothing, rent everything, and like it.

            I pirate my books or use the public library program to check ebooks out.
