Reading - digital or analogue?

As I was fixing my Kindle yesterday I thought about when I changed from “analogue” book reading to “digital” one.

I am looking at computer screens for almost as long as I have memories. But I only started reading ebooks eight years ago.

I bought the Kindle back then out of need. I was commuting to an internship for three hours per day (one and a half hours per direction). I wasn’t into podcasts back then and Netflix wasn’t even there.

So my thought was if I need to commute every day why not use the time to do something productive? If I remember correctly I had a reading speed of about 100 pages per hour which meant I would have to buy a new book every week or so.

I checked my amazon orders and I almost bought a book a week. I think my parents would have been really mad if a package would have arrived every week. Back then there wasn’t Amazon Prime and so every delivery had to be paid.

Nowadays I really enjoy both forms of reading. I got a large shelf full of books I read and another shelf full of books to read. Even today four new books arrived. On the other side, all books I’ve read from Isaac Asimov I read on my Kindle and I will be reading the Warhammer 40k books on it.

Not because I couldn’t buy them but because I know I won’t have space for them in the Apartment. But as a counter-argument, I could sell them after reading, but what if I want to read them again, buy them again?

Which way do you prefer, digital or analogue?
