I used to prefer physical, because I read on my phone and never really paid attention. Used my phone to read for a year and read a ton of books but don't remember any of them. Couple years ago I bought a kindle and ever since I haven't bought a single physical book, opting to buy them instead through amazon.
Don't think I'll ever go back to physical, honestly, it's just too convenient. Digital is less bulky, not just in storage but in my hands, pages don't wear down from turning, and I can fit my kindle in my front pockets and read anywhere, any time.
Just in case you didn't know, you don't have to buy books through Amazon (actually that's the worst option). You can buy the books in epub format from the publishers website or other stores usually (and if all else fails, pirate it in epub format). Epub is DRM free, which means you actually own the book, and, although I wouldn't have recommended buying an Amazon Kindle, now you have it, according to another commenter, you can email the epub to yourself and read it on the kindle.

I dislike having to give money to amazon though.
Kobo! Kobo is owned by Rakuten and they integrate with public libraries too.
2nd for Kobo! It's a good device, supports more standards, and doesn't fund any of the Too Big Tech Giants
Ooo, these look cool. Won't be able to access those libraries, but this seems like a good option, thanks!

Oh yeah, I've pirated stuff before. WotC stuff though, no way I'm giving them money for handbooks.
