Books
I have this long standing argument with a friend of mine over books.
To wit: electronic or physical?
In an odd turn of our friendship (I'm usually the advocate of technology), he's very much on the electronic side, while I'm on the physical side. And look, he makes a persuasive argument ("I can carry a hundred thousand books in my back pocket. And it's all backlit. And I save space on bookshelves. I don't get coffee stains on them. I always know what page I'm up to".) etc.
Admittedly, I've downloaded my favourite books, just to keep a digital copy in case something happens to the real ones.
But I'm curious to see what side you, unwashed masses, fall on.
I'm also planning on doing an order from http://www.bookdepository.co.uk, so any suggestions would be welcome.
