I used to always do physical books, but I'm nearly 100% converted to ebooks for three reasons:

When traveling, I can take multiple books on my tablet and there's no additional space/weight because I take my tablet anyway.
I realized I had way too many paperbacks at home and had to take a few boxes to a donation center - no reason to build back up again
I've started to read a lot more, like more than a book a week, which got expensive, so I've converted over to ebooks from the library. Now there's no cost and I don't have to drive back and forth to get/return books.
