    I used to own a lot of physical books but now I own 882 ebooks.

    Ebooks vs. books: Why are ebooks better?

    They are much more portable than physical books, so you can carry dozens if not hundreds or thousands of them around with you on a device that weighs less than half a pound.

    You can download them in a matter of minutes so you don't have to wait for them to be delivered if you ordered them online.

    You don't have to go to the store to buy them.

    They are never out of stock because they are digital files.

    You can get many ebooks for free from Project Gutenberg, Amazon, and your local library.

    Ebooks often go on sale, so you can get bestsellers for $1 to $5.

    They come with fun features like sharing highlighted quotations on social media, looking up words in the dictionary as you read, digital bookmarks, and much more.

    I would add that ebooks last forever unlike paper books especially since I do geeky stuff such as stripping DRM off them.
