Strategic Banking IT advisor in Bankinga year ago

Reading magazines on my tablet is perfectly fine.   Even more than that, it's very useful while flying for example.

But reading an electronic book? I've done it a few times but it lacks of the ease of a printed one.

Like reading at the beach, folding pages to review them back later or just handing to book to someone else.

I read print and Kindle depending on whether I'm at home or travelling (travel with Kindle).

I still love reading printed books on occasion, but lean heavily toward e-books the majority of the time now for sustainability/convenience/cost reasons.

Kindle when I'm travelling, print edition when I'm at home. I don't buy 2 of each book despite this and will keep either/or depending on where I am when I find the book. :)

In Canada, I use Kobo. Similar to Kindle, but supports Libby so I can get books from my library.
