¿por qué no los dos?

I buy lots of used books, and also access e-books (sometimes the same books).

Mostly I enjoy e-books for use with text-to-speech. If I'm reading a book, I usually am only reading that book and don't need thousands in my device. And I will take that book with me everywhere. However, I also will seek out multiple books to compare and contrast a specific concept simultaneously.

Favorite aspect of e-books: sharing annotations

Favorite aspect of physical books: curious onlookers will strike up conversations

(also, physical books are tangible assets)
