I mostly download books these days - saves money.
But recently paid fiat for one 'Other Rivers' by Peter Hessler, a writer I have great respect for who writes about China from a westerners perspective- he has spend considerable time there and married a Chinese woman.
It is a little odd, but enjoyable to be reading a 'real' physical book again.
Books are great but I just got lazy and frugal in terms of them and when you can download and read them digitally usually for free why not?
The ideas are the same even if the reading of an ebook is not quite as satisfying and tactile.
