I stopped buying new paper books about a decade before I started buying ebooks. And even then, I would buy maybe a book or 2 per year?<p>In my first year or two of owning a Kindle, I think I bought more ebooks than I had bought new paper books in my entire life. Even still buying ebooks doesn&#x27;t give me a fraction of the pause that buying a physical book does. A physical book is a perpetual space commitment, after all.<p>So I didn&#x27;t &quot;switch to ebooks from paper,&quot; I switched to ebooks from nothing, largely.
