I agree, I like the physical book too! But when I’m done with it... Coffee rings etc

See... that’s why I don’t like physical books. My dream house would have shelves from the floor to the ceiling for book storage... in reality I hate clutter so if I bought 20+ books a month I’d drive myself insane

I get too busy reading to notice the clutter!

I’m someone who can’t leave dishes in the sink. Most stuff that hangs around too long gets chucked. Books are nearly put away, but I don’t have room for more books not with the way I’ve been reading. Usually 3-5 books a week. I’m almost done that Crawdads one.

I guess that's why I'm that person....you know...the one you see regularly going in and out of the library struggling to carry a large canvas bag full of books that weights more than the person dragging it to the car.
Could never afford all the books I do have if it weren't for the used outlets I frequent and nearly all the fiction I consume are library books, paper or audio. Don't think I've ever read a fiction kindle book cover to cover because like many of you guys I'm a tactile book person. I like holding the book in my hands, seeing how many pages are left, turning the pages in anticipation....the complete tactile experience.

Never read Alice is Wonderland. I know...*gasp*....

Kindle tells you how many are left

Kindle tells you how many are left

I know, but it's not the same. I can't fold down the corner of my kindle either.

Nope but it always opens on the page you left off on every book no matter how many

I need the actual book in my hands! Had a Kindle, didn't like it. Audio books are fine, unless abridged, hate that too.
I also haven't read Alice in Wonderland, but found Jane Austin, wonderful!
