No. I guess I read more ebooks, just because I read a vast variety of books and papers. But (at age 49) I know who my favourite writers are, and never stop rereading them—e.g. Emerson, Stevenson, Chesterton, Collingwood, Putnam, Hazlitt, Fulghum, W James. Just recently I ordered online some of the Collingwood, Chesterton and Hazlitt books I'd never owned physically. I got a tablet which is great for reading ebooks in the park, but actual books are far better for bath, toilet..and anywhere. And writing in the margins and marking passages is essential! e.g. I have just about every book of Nietzsche's heavily marked and argued with on almost every page. Also am halfway through reading aloud Jane Eyre to the SO. We've watched a lot of movies together. She, a fan of 'period dramas', was shocked to realize how little any movie version of Jane Eyre (or any great novel) would or could give you of the book—virtually nothing.
