          Preference aside, because I agree with you, they’re a waste of money and space and natural resources if you only read them once or twice.

          I don’t feel that way about reference manuals or books you use to look things up in, though.

          Again, to be clear, I prefer handling books. I have many shelves of them. But… It’s illogical these days.

            Yes, you’re right. I bought a Kindle but haven’t used it much as I am still going through my book backlog.

            As they say: you will own nothing, rent everything, and like it.
