I find this discussion fascinating. I&#x27;m an avid reader and until 4 years ago I wouldn&#x27;t trade a physical book for a digital one. Still today, I have this romantic vision of a personal library with an eclectic book collection. But then, I bought my first kindle and things changed. Since 2012, I bought over 150 books, read half of those and if anything, the kindle made me read even more. 
Besides, I really believe that digital books are also democratising the access to knowledge and information. I&#x27;m based in Portugal and to buy the 150 books I mentioned above I would have to spend more than double the amount I ended up spending. Why? Because I would need to order them from USA and transport it&#x27;s still very expensive.
