I prefer ebooks because it's user friendly and does not cost much money.

In one way, most of the classics - or books that are now in the public domain - are free online, which means I can download them and read them without having to pay for a paperback. It means I can catch up on books that I want to read that are in the public domain (like the Count of Monte Cristo, for example).
In another way, Kindle editions of books are almost always cheaper than the paperback - it's particularly true for new releases, which means I can stay up-to-date with authors and get the Kindle editions.
It also means I can review books pretty easily - most books that are up for review are available on Kindle formats, so I can review books for work (or for here) very easily.
Finally, it means I can access books that may not be in my hometown yet. I can get 'early access' to books that haven't hit the market here, so I don't have to wait as long for books when I can get them on the Kindle.

In a book store I have no self control. A perfect example would be yesterday went into chapters from one $10 book and came out after spending $100.
E-books I have great control for some reason. I seem to find a lot of free books and low cost books. And I seem to keep to my spending limit very easily.

You could always physically go to a locallibrary and borrow books, but having the libby app is super convenient. You can quickly borrow a book at any hour through the app, no trip to the library needed, and returning is just a click of a button. Books will also be returned automatically if your time is up so there is never a worry having to get back to the library before a book is due.
