I prefer reading digitally bcz of convenience and note taking . For example I read Manga or comic type books or non fiction in iPad 13 inch and novel in iPad mini . But I grew up among books and I always wanted a bookshelf when I was young . I imaged having a library of myself .
But now I see no practical reason but I still want to have the books I liked in my bookshelf . Is I wise ?
I would say it feels like a commitment without purpose which feels useless but I still like the idea of it but unwilling to go through to keep life simple and minimal.
Appreciate your feedbacks . Thanks.

Do what you want
Collecting books is fun! I particularly like to collect used books of three categories:
1. Books that I really enjoy and want to lend out to people
2. Books I found really interesting and want to reference later
3. Classics, just because it’s nice to have them
It’s fun to lend them out to people, and when people come over it’s a fun discussion point.
I also feel like having a bookshelf inspires me to read more books. I read both physical and digital, but it still makes me feel connected to books in my every day life
Find a local bookstore. They’d absolutely love the business
Books are beautiful, sensational, immersive pieces of art. NFTS are not art for a reason. It’s intangible.
Well how much do money do you have? How much joy will spending money on books that you will just look at give you?
To be fair, there’s very little reason for me to keep my paper books after I read them unless I’m going to reread them. I still have 2 book cases because collecting them makes me happy. Do your thing and don’t over think it.
