I prefer an e-reader and digital books. I pirate them for my kindle.
No space and weight so you can take them anywhere
Piracy
Can download far faster than ordering or going to the bookstore
Can find niche or foreign books my local bookstores don't have
Built-in dictionary and translation is just moah
Adjustable text size or font
Easy on the eyes, can read in the dark
Can pick up where you left off super easily, no need to worry about bookmarks
I was not an avid reader prior to the Kindle purchase. I used to read comic books almost exclusively haha. Nowadays my reading habits include more book reading as well. The Kindle was honestly one of the best purchases I've ever made.
