When I was working I read almost all non-fiction related to my work. When I retired I switched and 95% of my reading now is fiction.
I used to love going to The Tattered Cover in Denver and spending the morning browsing. Now, I browse Kindle EBooks on line.
I still have a few paper books. My books of photographs by famous photographers don't move to eink well. Travel Guides where I'm moving back and forth between sections is better with paper and lots of colored bookmarks.
I am a compulsive reader but the media for the book is not a big concern of mine. If I want the smell of a used bookstore when I read, I can always get a cloth soaked in cat pee and let it mildew.

But the best experience is reading on an actual e-reader. Instead of a computer.

I used to think I'd always prefer paper books, but honestly whenever I get one as a gift or something now I wish it were an ebook instead! Physical books take up so much room, get lost, get things spilled on them, etc.
