Do you prefer digital or actual books (lemm.ee)

I can't help but always worry that one day I'll need paper books. I don't know what it is, but I feel like I should start collecting paper books instead of every single book I have is on my Kobo. Which do you do? If you get paper books, is there a source that sells cheaper books. Books are kind of pricey where I look.

Both digital and printed have their merits, but I came back to real books some time ago. My goal is to have a curated home library, catered to my taste. It will look good, they won’t go anywhere and I just have need a quick step to the shelve if I need something.

Digital is fine for travelling or just as an addition if you don’t want to use shelf space. I love my kindle, but it’s not a full alternative.
