On principle, I agree. In practice, it is impractical for me to have more than 2-3 physical books in my dorm room (and in my ship’s cabin when I’m sailing - for work!), so the Kindle app fills the gap during those times.

I love having my kindle when Im traveling or camping and cant/dont want to bring multiple books with me, but at home I always prefer physical copies!!

I just want to read in bed at night without a light disturbing my girlfriend

I agree but it’s because I hate reading on a screen (I’m a software engineer so I work on screens all day already). I also just feel like I can’t focus as much on a kindle. I absolutely see the appeal and usefulness of a kindle though, and I’d get one if I could stand using them. I also just like the idea of having a bookshelf full of books I love

I use both, I like paper books but they’re more expensive and take up too much space

people saying physical books are expensive, but that’s why libraries exist! check out a book for free and if you like it enough to want to reread it in the future then you buy your own copy :)

Facts but sometimes I appreciate the convenience of a kindle ngl 😭

I had a kindle as a kid and hated it. I don’t really focus reading with a bright screen in my face (probably why I stopped reading in my car). I’m always happy to buy refurbished or just from the bookstore but then I run out of space to hold books. I think digital reading is better for annotating though I’m a person that doesn’t like to mark up her physical copies😭

I’m lazy and hate having to hold a book and keep the light on in bed
