I love to read and reading is important to me, but I never felt "romantically" about #books 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 same! I initially had qualms about not being able to show off my collection to visitors, but when I realized how much easier ebooks are on my hands I never looked back. And I don't have hand problems.
I still love browsing bookstores & libraries, but that's more about the serendipity and discovery. Recommendation algorithms are nice but I don't think the browsing experience has really caught up yet.
@mcmoots I understand that ;) I had similar thoughts but then wondered why it was so important to me to have my books for "show off" especially since its mostly dead space to me as I rarely reread.
I'm on Goodreads and I like to browse there, I found many great books there. I do enjoy bookstores and usually discover something too, just not often or long ;)
