I bought a Kindle Paperwhite in April of 2013. I have not bought any paper books since then. I am a very avid reader and have been ever since I was nine years old. I average about three books a week and have done so for more than sixty years, as I am now 71 years old. At my age, I don't think you can blame my preference for a Kindle on a young person's eager acceptance of flashy tech. The Kindle is just so much more convenient, and the price of ebooks is SO much lower than paper books. As far as audiobooks are concerned, I have none, want none, and can't imagine ever wanting any; they just seem pointless to me.

Yeah for volume and price nothing beats a nice kindle.

My main issue is I buy ebooks and forget they are there lol. If I only did the kindle though it wouldn't be an issue.

What do you usually like to read the most? I mostly read science fiction.

I mostly like science fiction myself, although in the last decade or so historical fiction is a close second, especially novels set in the ancient world. One science fiction novel I highly recommend is "Permutation City" by Greg Egan ($2.99 via Kindle Store on Amazon). The man takes a mind-bending concept and fleshes it out wonderfully. His reach sometimes exceeds his grasp, but most of his books are really impressive.

Thanks I will check it out!

Hmm I wonder if we should do a book club here!
