Do you prefer physical books or ebooks?

I absolutely love physical books more. Ebooks are good too. They are light and cheap. We can easily make an underline without worries about the book. Even, I've thought I have to buy an ebook reader because I can take ebooks easily everywhere so I want to read books while camping or traveling. It's on my bucket list. 

However, ebooks are just a replacement for physical books. We cannot feel the individuality of each book when we read ebooks. All books are different appearances. They have different covers, different textures of paper, sizes, etc. We used to remember the book through those factors, making it special. Not only the content but also those factors are the identities of the book. Not only that, we can feel the past through the book. There are many traces in the old book. We can see a mark of soup, a nosebleed mark, some underlines, and some folded edges. The book becomes the only book of mine in the world. That's why I love physical books more. There are only two bad things about physical books. They are expensive and heavy. Without them, ebooks cannot overcome physical books.
