I'm not a Scot, but when it comes to real books I buy from charity shops or loan from a library. Only rarely would I pay full price for one. I've toyed with the idea of the e-book, and can see some good things but for the time being I'll stick with paper.

The fact that I have the app on my phone and can pick between any of the books I want at will is nice.

I have an extensive library of real books, mostly bought from Charity Shops, Ebay or given as gifts. The wife, 'SHe who must be obeyed' put her foot down though, so I have returned more than few books to the chairty shops.

The remaining volumes are safely locked up in my 'Man Cave' in the back garden
