If I read books, I prefer doing it on paper. I cannot focus enough if I read a digital book on my computer/mobile phone. Especially, if I read books to learn something.

For example, I need every IT-related book (patterns, clean code, etc) as hardcopy in my cupboard. If I read them I take a marker and highlight important parts, write comments and so on. I know I can do that with a digital copy but I think learning is different with that approach.

I’ve gotten to a place where paper books are more of a headache. Like you I thought reading them at bed would be awesome but my bifocals make it a challenge to find a comfy position.

I love the search and note-taking of digital and I primarily use my iPad. I do just after a paperwhite however, I just can’t justify the added expense. Maybe for my 75th birthday in a couple of years. 😊
