I've stopped buying books since I got a kindle, and zero regrets really! I've had my kindle for 4 years and it's still going strong - somehow don't miss the tactile book feel as much as I thought I would, and I think I've actually read a lot more since I got a kindle.

Same! I’ve read so much more since I got my first kindle back in 2007(?). One of my best all time purchases. I love a paper book but space is very limited for me so I’ve gotten rid of almost all my books since I got my kindle. And I keep a wishlist of books on my Amazon account that I check everyday and buy books when on sale. Almost all the books I’ve purchased ranged from free to $6 USD at most. I’ve only bought a handful books at full price (Michelle and Barack Obama’s books).

Same here. My public library's Overdrive is huge, and I also use Kindle Unlimited for the free 3 month trial for additional content. I use Goodreads for reading suggestions, as well as looking at how books rank at my library. I haven't needed to even visit in person. I haven't bought a physical book since I got my Kindle. Total game changer.
