Really interesting article, Dave. I'm the same. I buy most books at charity shops. I like Bookends (great range but low turnover of stock). Have a stupidly big 'to be read' pile. And I love finishing a book, finding where it will live on the bookshelf and then that absolute pleasure of deciding what I read next.
There are a handful of authors who I'll buy new in Hardback. And often there are massive reductions off RRP so they don't cost too much. But that's one or two books per year. Maybe a few new paperbacks if I've missed getting a hardback or see them on special.
I have no reason or desire for an E-book. They have nothing to offer me.
