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.

and (assuming I pick the right device) even read in pouring rain or the shower if I wanted to, so tub reading ceases to be a problem.

With the "wrong device", you can get a tablet dry bag and still be good. This is the one I got for my Boox go color 7. A waterproof device is nicer, but if you're not willing to sacrifice whatever else for one, you still have a cheap, reasonably easy option.
