My manga collection is physical, but I also have select favourites, long running series or for thick hardcovers digitally as well

I do most of my reading on my Kindle. The convenience and portability wins out for me. Also large books are unwieldy in physical form.

I went back to paper because I value (my) privacy and (true) ownership.

I’m of the same opinion. I sometimes see people on my light rail commute journey carrying physical books and it just makes me appreciate the convenience of ebooks.
