I love to collect books when I find them at yard sales and thrift stores. I buy Stephen King, Terry Goodkind (if it's the original cover art), and Tom Clancy whenever I find them in hardback, a few other authors too. But for actually reading, I almost exclusively use my Nexus or iPad. The accessibility, price (tons of free and cheap books out there, check out Humble Bundle and Project Gutenburg,) has nothing on Physical books, plus I can adjust the screen (white on black for nighttime reading, sepia tone for daytime.) I also have a short attention span, so anything I can grab instantly increases the odds of me actually reading it.

I'm the same way with games and movies anymore, buy the one's I really like on disc, grab the ones I'm somewhat interested in digitally, usually long after release.
