I do find it interesting how people who are all digital or all paper tend to proselytize like it's religion. I myself am a physical media curmudgeon which extends to me still buying LPs, CDs and the occasional bluray or DVD and all of my books worth keeping are purchased physically. I stream content and pay for Apple/Spotify but I still prefer physical whenever affordable and possible and will continue to do so until it is no longer an option. I figure if there's every a tech glitch that erases the cloud stuff (ala Private Eye) I'll be rich in media! But seriously, when it comes to books and comics I can't make the digital shift. The last thing I want to do after staring at a computer screen at work all day is come home and stare at another one to read my comics or books while trying to relax, it's just not the same experience whatsoever, at least not fore me. I also collect and like tangibility though after several cross state moves in recent years I get the cumbersome and heavy deterrant in stacks of comics and books but once I get where I'm going I'm happy to have them again. I will admit I sale or trade or give away 50-70% of my floppies purchased in a year at the end of each year because I try to limit the space I donate to them, but I always pick up the collected editions out of those for my favorite runs. I have no intention of getting rid of those if I don't have too.
