Do you usually purchase digital or physical books? Why? (sh.itjust.works)

I like physical books but I don’t buy them often. Like you, physical space limitations are a big thing. I love picking my own font and font size, and being able to easily read at night with white on black and an amber backlight is great.

I get most stuff from the library instantly without going anywhere, and strip drm from everything.
