I love reading physical books over ebooks. The feel, the smell, the whole experience is just better. But then you put those books in a box and move them, and all that good will is lost. epub is fine. I'm good with epub.
@mike I feel this one. It's a struggle sometimes. I think the way forward for me is finding the right balance between digital and physical. For certain authors (James S.A. Corey, Adrian Tchaikovsky) I'm ALWAYS going to buy physical because I love seeing them on the shelf. For most, I'm going to buy digital because I also love highlighting and note-taking on the Kobo!
@killyourfm @mike I do this too - anything work, study or IT related goes straight to Calibre-web. I have a cupboard in my office now with the rest of my books - I just open the door every now and again to smell it!! That's not weird...
@bluegeeko @mike I mean, that's NOT weird. I'm the guy who genuinely loved the exhaust vent smell of the original LCD Steam Deck, soooooooo
