I love buying books, mostly hardbacks. They are not expensive, as long as you do not HAVE to buy something on release. I recently bought Haruki Murakami's new 1000 pages book(s), 1Q84 for only 12 pounds.
I am (probably) one of the few young people (under 18), to have a collection of 200+ CD's/vinyls, 100+ DVD's/Blu-rays and 100+ books all in physical editions. I do not directly dislike downloading things, but I dislike it, if you have the money for the items (which you should have, as no-one says that you have to buy your collection in a single order.)
