Digital. No space for a bookshelf in my tiny little apartment, and I don’t need the social gratification of displaying a big impressive shelf full of books.

I don’t really care about the feel and smell of books.

My digital reader lets me read anything in OpenDyslexic font allowing me to read more, faster, with less energy expenditure.

I can look up any word with a long press

I can highlight and take notes without ruining the freshness of the book.

And most importantly of all: I can read on my side in bed without having to switch positions for every page.
