I don't have space for storing a single book more, so I buy ebooks and 
read them in a Kobo Libra device. It is similar to paper, I can read it 
just fine out in the sun. The current model has a bit of shine, the 
older model didn't. And it has an electronic pencil to write notes or 
drawings.

I liked paper more, but on these things I can choose font, size, line 
spacing, etc.
