Kindle vs Nook vs.....?

[Kalevala]

Only if I can keep and highlight the books... 🙂

If they have deaccessioned them (and you have paid for them). 

I've gone the opposite way of Papy.

When I got bifocals a couple of years back, it opened the door again for physical books, provided the font wasn't too large (nor the size of the book itself). But last summer, I picked up prescription reading glasses, and those glasses fully opened the door. I've been reading more print and dividing my time between physical and digital.

But Amazon's recent move (which was a culmination of many smaller moves, most of which went unnoticed by the public) first pushed me to Kobo. But when I thought more about it, I realized I don't like ebooks and what they now represent. And I'm done.

Things are really different from when I purchased my first Kindle back in 2010. Ebooks were cheap, you could download them and strip the DRM so easily, and Kindles weren't jammed full of ads. Oh, and these devices didn't track literally every single thing that you did. Many back-catalog books I was interested in were out of print.

It is just physical books for the foreseeable future.

So they've gone way up in price?  In any event, glad that you are enjoying more.

All books have.
Massmarket papers: are mostly not published anymore
Trade paperbacks: their MSRP are drifting upwards to $26 per volume!!
Hardbacks: their MSRP is drifting upwards to $39 per volume!!
Ebooks: are drifting towards $13-17 on par with the street prices of physical books (i.e. buying discounted or used from Amazon, Thriftbooks, etc.)
