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.

IT just doesn't feel right trying to read a book digitally. I exclusively read physical books. I will admit that hauling them around when I move is a bit of a pain, though.

Years ago, after one of my many moves, I realized about 1/3 of what I was moving was books. I had far too many for my lifestyle. I would love to have been able to buy a house and have a big book wall, or room, but that's not how life played out. I got tired of moving boxes of books, so I donated all my books and have just stuck with ebooks now. With an eink screen, I find the reading experience to be exactly the same. Although I still occasionally miss the physical nature of books, I don't miss it enough to give up the positives of my much larger electronic library.
