I read a lot on my phone when I am out and a tablet at home. Nowadays I buy most of my fiction in the e-book format. I have a huge collection of science fiction, fantasy, mystery, and various non fiction books that I have collected starting when I was eight with Little Women and I am now sixty three. Keep buying up ebook bargains that you’re only mildly interested in then you’re filling up your device with books that you don’t have time for and not terribly passionate about… is not really great.

Libraries have hardcovers from the earlier part of the 20th century in excellent condition. My parents have mmpbs older than me that are in great condition.
