When I still lived in the UK I preferred physical books and I still have three crates of them in a lockup. After looking at a screen all day at work, reading paper was a balm for my eyes and my brain.

I only bought a Kindle when I moved to a different country since it was far cheaper than shipping the books.

Not to sound like a Kobo ad, but I feel like I am the customer and not the product with my Kobo - I can install software, and even SSH into it as root, and I'm not tracked. Of course, that could change, unlike with good ol' books, and books also never run out of battery or get scratches on every page (the Kobo's screen is far from scratch resistant).
