Books themselves aren’t going anywhere, or so I keep telling myself and fervently hoping despite all the evidence humanity’s collective brains are dissolving into a stew of slop and influence.

I have mixed feelings. On one hand, i like the smell of actual books. On the other, I don't like the bindings on 90% of paperbacks. Especially if they are quite thick, like the Wheel of Time series. The pages always fall out.

I don't mind reading off a screen, but it probably would help to read longer if I had some kind of e-ink device that wasn't backlit.

Most E-Inks I know you can turn the light off.
