I consider my extensive library of physical books ‘nuclear powered reading devices’ - with that mindset they are actually very lightweight. The occasional move was always a great workout and the motivation to find a permanent home and build it out as a dynastic seat for the family and a bunker for civilization quite motivating. Electronic reading materials on the other hand are the … great for immediate and temporary research.

As a much younger person I used to dream of a day I would be able to hold a whole library in the palm of my hand. That dream was technically realized a long time ago ( a lot of useful books and papers are in epub and pdf formats ). But now that I am older and recognize certain dangers coming from DRM corners that is already all too present in gaming, my dream changing to something akin of my own personal physical library. I am not there yet. I need to be able to justify its own substantial room, but.. the more I think about it, the more I think about it is a worthwhile goal. It actually may be a good thing for the little one as well ( come to think of it, my parents' shelves were creaking under all those books; maybe there is something about recreating the imprint of your parents after all ). I absolutely agree that for immediate research nothing beats electronic version short of a personal librarian.
