E-book or made of paper?
Books like movies can transport you to another world. Time passes quickly and problems fades when one is engrossed in a book.Are you one of those who loves the smell of paper when reading a new book? Or do you go for those books saved electronically?

I've got a tablet I use in work that can access documents when I'm away from my desktop computer. Nearly everything is in PDF format. Mostly computer drawings and email. I don't have an e-reader. I prefer the larger desktop monitor when reading/reviewing documents so I don't have to zoom. I find the tablet annoying when scrolling back and forth and I tend to lose concentration.
Newly printed materials often have a strong smell of the ink and shiny paper they are printed on. I'll fan the pages first to get rid of that smell.
Growing up in a family with a older brother, he and my dad often collected paperback books at yard sales. I disliked the smell of musty old paper, especially in a public library.
Most of my business is changing to paperless with cloud based storage, but I find I can retain more information by looking at printed documents. Reviewing production documents for example... I do better checking drawings for errors if it's on paper.
Paper over electronic.
