    Ebooks are less convenient because once you buy and read it you’re stuck with it and can’t resell.

    Books can be had second hand for dirt cheap, too. For ebook you’re paying full price.

      I have lots of books in paper. I have dozens electronically

      The paper ones are good. I can lend them to friends, smell them, have them looking good on a shelf, can read while I’m doing something else on my phone

      The electronic ones are with me. I can read them when I find myself surprisingly with nothing better to do.
