Ebooks are way more convenient than print books. Plus you dont have to go through Amazon's system if you dont want to there are serveral alternative ereaders (kobo, pocketbook, boox).

Where are you getting inventing gripes from? Change font style and size is a major factor for many people along with weight. I started reading way more when I could use a ereader instead of print books.

I'm sure that's true for you and you are entitled to your opinion, in fact, I am happy that you read more. For me, I find paper books more convenient, easier to use, easier to make my own (I like to scribble into books), easier to read. They only lose in the storage department, but I've got a dry cellar.

I own a Kindle since, I don't know, 2015, and I can count the number of books I read on it on two hands and I read about 30-40 books a year. The only reason to rent an e-book are imports that otherwise are hard to get or cost an arm and a leg.
