I prefer an e-reader and digital books. I pirate them for my kindle.
I was not an avid reader prior to the Kindle purchase. I used to read comic books almost exclusively haha. Nowadays my reading habits include more book reading as well. The Kindle was honestly one of the best purchases I've ever made.
And they're much easier to hold when I'm reading in bed.
Cons:
My bookshelves are sad.
A lot of books are ill suited to digital.
They can vanish at any time (unless you take the time to unlock and archive them).

You can always buy them and make a "backup"
