@kadu @ArmoredCavalry To be honest, the main thing that bothers me about eBooks is that it doesn't support my local bookstore. I tend to buy eBooks from Amazon because it is convenient (yes, I know there are other options, but I admit to laziness here). Local, independent bookstores are a precious resource and I will be mad at myself when they are gone. I will look at the hundreds of books on my Kindle and feel guilty.

I started buying my e-books on the Kobo store for this reason as I don't want to support Amazon. Kobo books have the added benefit of making it easy to strip the DRM. You can see a guide here: https://github.com/subdavis/kobo-book-downloader
