Perhaps I am anachronistic, but I much prefer real books to e-books. While I may download books from Gutenberg from time to time, if I really want to read something, I buy the hard copy.
One of the greatest things about the Internet, for me at least, is the easy availability of books. While Amazon is an obvious source, I prefer abebooks.com, as you can usually get a used book there for a fraction of the Amazon price.
Thus one can acquire more books; and if there is any money left over, one might purchase some food.
