Some books are better as hardcopy - instruction books, cookbooks, etc.  Most others I'll just buy ebooks, although there is something nice about a new, real book.

Some books yes.  And that nice new real book feel goes out the window when I'm done reading it and go "fuck!  Where do I put this" and then repeat that for the next 3-4 moves

Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Buy a kindle for now to use until Xmas and then she gives you a new one and you give her the old one.  Everyone wins!
