I've been slowly transitioning to ebooks. For existing series I've continued with paper copies, but for new ones I've gone digital if I can buy DRM free. On the main topic of the article, I have a similar conundrum with big tech. I don't really want to use them as they might one day turn the thumbscrews. However they haven't yet, and maybe I'd be better off using the convenience while it is still here. Perhaps the difference is that Google killing products is more likely than the end of civilisation.
