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.

If a DRM-free digital version is available and any of these conditions apply:

  • is free in digital form
  • needs to be written on
  • receives and provides me updates without extra costs
  • doesn't have physical eye-candy editions
  • is too big

then I buy the digital version.

I buy physical books second-hand, usually from booklooker, a German platform.
