the physical books I own are either gifts or books that aren’t in print/obscure enough that they aren’t available as ebooks (like barthes’ the neutral). I do enjoy buying secondhand editions of books I particularly love

They become a burden. I switched to ebooks 10 years ago and have never regretted it. Only time I buy dead tree now is when ebook is not available at all.
