I always and firmly stated that I would only read a hard copy of any book…until my son brought me a Kindle.
Now I have an Amazon Fire with in excess of 500 e pubs.
I have e pubs from 82 different authors totalling,as of 11 April 2017, 508 e pubs.
I mainly read fictional modern day military combat,including WW3,some World war 2 naval and Air force and some thrillers.
I hope you don’t mind me asking…
But what’s an “e pub”?
Its an electronic form of a book,(e-pub I:E Electronic Publication) also called MOBI,and other formats.
Ah! Gotcha!
I didnt know,until I got my first Kindle,then found out when I went on line searching for books 
I haven’t been swayed over to e books yet
I like the feel of a book in my hands
Bet it saves on shelf space though!
I was of the same opinion as you,but could never decide which books to take on holiday with me & 500 plus books would cost a fortune in excess baggage.Now with my Amazon Fire I can carry all 500 plus books and they only weigh a few ounces
I too have been swayed over to ebooks.
I do still buy books when I am out and about but for ease as you say Steve on holidays, on a train, bus etc it is easier to read my ebook.
Kindle’s are brilliant. I always read a little by it’s cover light when I go to bed. Doesn’t take long before I’m ready to sleep.
I wont have a kindle myself, im an avid book man, do you like the Dale Brown books.?
I have every Dale Brown book,I did have them all on hard copy,but sold them on ebay.I have,at the last count 509 e pubs.
Im slowly gathering them from charity shops,also some By Stephen Coonts though i favour more the works of Clavell, Cornwell, Scarrow,Igulden Lustbader Et al.
I always have a book on the go, I prefer the feel and smell of a book but do have a few on the Kindle app on my tablet, they are great for travelling.
I like Patricia Cornwell, Jeffrey Archer, Wilbur Smith, and love biographies, but will usually read anything put in my hand.
