Ebook for fiction books. The convenience is amazing and i don’t have enough space for all the books as physical copies in my place. Plus generally much cheaper to buy.

I do however buy some non-fiction books (ex. books on writing/editing/crafting techniques/etc.) as physical copies as I reference them more often and searching is much easier in physical format.

Exactly my feelings.

Ebooks are so convenient but I buy paper or hardback for historical and biographies (they usually contain maps, diagrams and pictures which are more easily referenced and viewed in real life).
