SusieQOH I am the same as you. When we down sized and sold the house I kept only the reference type of books and very special ones. If you haven't missed them then it was a good decision.
I have never read a book on an electronic device. Just had eye surgery and must admit the computer is easier to read then paper at the moment. But there is nothing like a book in your hand, you can pore over it, go back and compare two patterns, grab it up and check if you remember right or what was that detail. For me there is not contest. I like the real thing.
