I love reading physical books too, the user experience of them is so much nicer.
I also like to go back to re-read books.
With non-fiction I'll often want to go back to reference or quote something, and with fiction I love reimmersing myself in the worlds the author's create.
I've amassed quite a little library of books that I still enjoy having access to and it's lovely. But it's also /terribly/ inconvenient to move to a new apartment.
It's also quite annoying when I'm visiting a place, and I'd love to pull up a favourite story but didn't think to bring it with me.
I've started moving to a hybrid solution - My absolute favourite stories I keep in paper because I enjoy the feel, but for most books having them digitally much nicer.
- dhosek 6y agoI have great spatial memory for things I've read. I was able to pull up a quote from a book that I read the summer of 1992 seven years later because I remembered roughly where in the book and on the page the quote appeared. I could probably go to my library and find it still another 21 years later. I don't get that from e-books.
