Yes and no. Sure, a paper book is great, and I still buy them for the reasons
you mention. But until the virus arrived a year ago, I was travelling on
average twice a month, sometimes more. I read during flights. Being able to
bring many books with me (because I don’t always know in advance what I feel
like reading) is great. And that is only possible thanks to e-books.
Cheers,
