There are some books out there not in ebook form. Like I eventually want to read House of Leaves and for some reason you can not get it in ebook form. Also Bridge over the River Kwai.

Yes.
In at least one instance, I was gifted a print book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/...nd-king-arthur but because it was so poorly typeset (the lines were just too wide), I bought the ebook and am about half-way through it. Keeping the print copy (it was a gift) and will use it as a reference text. |

For reading: It's almost all eBooks for me these days. Some technical books I still buy in paper.
For hard boiled eggs, this thing is great. I bought it skeptically, but it is fantastic. You do have to do a little trial and error up front to get the exact amount of water for your elevation correct - but after that, this thing is wonderful! Start off over cooking the eggs, then back down to where they are to your liking. Under cooking, then moving up during your testing, doesn't work as well. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DDXYC6O |
