Correct. I dicked around with a Nook for a while, but went back to hardcovers. Still buy CDs and DVDs as well. Streaming is useless if you like the classics.

Yes, but from the reading I'm doing I see that people 'jail break' them and load PDFs and books from other sources on them.
I can’t remember reading a book written in the last ten years.
I like to reread books that I haven’t read in three or four decades.
Last year I reread all of Raymond Chandler’s novels and his bio as well.
I found them for free on internetarchive dot org.
They are in PDF format which I like much better than Kindle.
This year I’m going to reread all of Albert Schweitzer’s theological works that I read in the Eighties.
If I wanted to read something recent, I’d renew my outdated library card.
Lots of ways to read books without checking out hard copies.
