I love to read and reading is important to me, but I never felt "romantically" about themselves. I'm no Rory Gilmore. I won't spent hours in a library or a bookstore, I am not delighted by the smell of printed books , for me it was always the reading - not the books. So yeah, I'm an ebooks kind of girl, especially since I am hopping between two homes every week.

@Virelai I do romanticise physical books myself. Even have wanted to learn about bookbinding, which is its own little crafting community.

@JordiGH @Virelai I want to learn about bookbinding and at the same time I decided to buy as little physical books as possible. Poor trees getting cut down and processed, and all the dead weight when moving, and all the space it requires, and all the inflexibility physical books bring. So now I wonder: bookbinding my own notebooks, perhaps... ? Noooo!

@kensanata @JordiGH haha, I feel you! It's surely a nice hobby though! Dead weight resonates with me too, I don't usually read books twice and all that space for physical objects that I don't need anymore... Not a fan!
