eBooks for sure.

Don't get me wrong - absolutely nothing beats the feeling of paper. But if I have my Kindle, I read everyday. If I need to worry about carrying and taking care of a physical book... I read sometimes.

I'm also spoiled by having quick dictionary access, saving quotes, etc.

If it's a very special book I'll buy the physical edition though, just for having it on my shelf.

@kadu @ArmoredCavalry To be honest, the main thing that bothers me about eBooks is that it doesn't support my local bookstore. I tend to buy eBooks from Amazon because it is convenient (yes, I know there are other options, but I admit to laziness here). Local, independent bookstores are a precious resource and I will be mad at myself when they are gone. I will look at the hundreds of books on my Kindle and feel guilty.
