I literally cannot focus when I'm reading online for some reason + I love looking at my books on my bookshelf, it makes me feel smart

Ebooks really grew on me as of late. They are just way too convenient + easy to pirate

Yup. Plus I can adjust font size for optimal reading. I have an old ass kindle and it's great for reading books. Sucks for reading PDFs though

You can covert PDFs to epubs with varying success

My kindle can't read epubs, only mobi. And pdf convertion usually doest do very well, formatting usually ends up fucked
