Assuming you don't have a book in your possession?
- dylan604 2y agothis is actually more common place than you might expect. just like wearing tube socks vs ankle socks has become some sort of age delineation, owning books is as well.
- borski 2y agoThis makes me so sad.
- dylan604 2y agoI have no books that have any value other than I already own them. After moving across the country a couple of times with them plus all of the other various moves, I have thought about getting rid of them numerous times. The only reason I have not is just sheer laziness on taking them some place. My most recent move left them in boxes and just stored.

- 0xffff2 2y agoI'm old enough to have owned a lot of paper books at one point, but as a Kindle owner and person who moves every few years, I no longer own any physical books. For fiction and non-fiction prose, I find an e-reader to be strictly superior to the paper version. I've even embraced e-cookbooks. The UX is markedly inferior while cooking, but the convenience of not having to move boxes and boxes of paper around with me is worth it.
