”bUt i LuV a phYsiCal b00K” silence
I wake up thinking about my kindle. I take it everywhere with me. On the train? Reading my kindle. At the park? Reading my kindle. In bed at 8pm? Reading my kindle.
I also was sick of buying books that sucked and being stuck with an object that took up space so now if I love a book on my kindle I buy a physical copy. Expensive habit but worthwhile imo.

I’ve been wanting a kindle to read my trash literature on. I prefer to have physical copies of books but I’ve been getting into spicy romance books the past few months. It’s not something I want to show off when reading in coffee shops or anywhere out in public. I got a kindle for Christmas and I’m so excited to start using it (once I finish my current read). I only plan on using it for my trash literature. All other books I’m sticking with a physical copy of.

I absolutely love getting a physical book, particularly ones from charity shops etc because they're so cheap!
However I totally get your points about reading on a kindle. I have one and when I read something on there I do think I find it easier and so read faster, and for longer. Turning pages is a little easier so you can read at any angle easily, it packs into any bag (and most coats), and a book is often way cheaper digitally. Plus, if you use Amazon's email-to-kindle service, you can actually send any pdf/epub to the kindle, meaning you have the option to read anything in public domain (e.g. Project Gutenberg) or...uh... anywhere else you magically find online, for free!
Granted, I'm talking about a physical kindle. I don't use the app on my phone much, but it is pretty good as well. I would suggest taking a look on eBay or the like for older Paperwhite models — mine is probably from 2014 and it's perfect. Not sure how much they go for second hand but weigh it against the price of another haul of books!

The only way I’ll read. Sorry for killing print media but all acclaim for my work has been published digitally so I’m going to be biased! It’s just so convenient and easy. I love to read in the dark before I sleep and you just can't do that with paper! Pulling one of these out in public is definitely crazy and you do lose the slinky exhibitionism that comes from a whole subway car knowing what hardcover title you’re pouring over, but I really think the pros outweigh the cons. Invest in an e-reader and be one with the future.
