Oh, and you can't sell a digital copy. If you don't like something, you are stuck with it. You can't let friends borrow it. You can't put it on your shelf. You have nothing to show for what you paid for. It's the same reason why I will never buy a digital copy of a movie or video game. You either give me a physical copy or I don't pay for it.

not trying to sway you.....i'm sure your reasons are valid FOR YOU...
now for me. I used to collect and still have about 7 boxes of comics taking up space.
The ability to have (literally) thousands of books at my fingertips is convenient as hell.
Digital method I can keep a couple hundred with me at all times. The app i use makes the library convenient to use and see (it's a beauty to scroll through all the covers)...I get the urge to read something in particular...guess what..i have it with me... forgot what happened 3 issues ago about something that's relevant to this issue...guess what.."tap-tap-tap" i'm there..
I don't have to worry about bending or folding. I can resize on a whim..
and about always being charged...come on man...every one of us uses a device daily that needs to be charged constantly...that's just the age we live in.
i LOVE comics..but i'm no longer tied to to its 'physical' aspect.
Have you actually ever tried it with a GOOD reader on a good device (tablet).
Again for you...your opinions and views are valid and that's cool...for me..going digital was a GAME CHANGER!!
*hold on lemme check something*
yup...108 Gigs of comics
