The dilemma with electronic/ audio books

[MBX]

So recently i tend to "read" my books either electronically or as audio-book (through the iphone app "Stanza" or itunes/ Audible).

But one thing that bugs me a little is that these books don't end up on my book-shelf. I know it's stupid but it's cool to have books on the shelf so people visiting you see you're actually reading books

Now one solution would be to buy these books as physical version too but it's a bit of wasted money.

What do you think?

I feel the same way, I love reading(when the transit workers get back to work I can read on the bus again) but eBooks are just so much more convenient. I have the same dilemma, I like having bookshelves with my collection, so if I am feeling like it I can laze out on the couch with a book, which is so much better than an eBook.

Solution, try used book stores or store clearances, I have gotten a lot of my books used and in good condition for a quarter of the new price.
