I love reading actual books. I don't know why you would quit if you can afford it
We're progressing backwards to Victorian times where books are luxury items.
I have to say, there are some advantages to using an light e-ink reader vs a massive book (reading Sanderson hardcovers in bed is basically planking but on your back).

I recently had to move with my physical book collection and swore I wouldn't do it again. I converted it all to ebook now. I'm down to about a dozen physical books, not counting comics and TPBs.
