@kilroy_was_here @everyplace indeed, electronic QSL (eQSL) is a thing, but it's not very common. Whereas a physical QSL card or an entry in Logbook Of The World (LotW) counts as confirmation of a contact, eQSL doesn't. So it doesn't confirm a contact for awards but also doesn't give the sense of romance that physical QSL aficionados (like me) look for.
I do print the address labels for my cards, though. Writing addresses by hand is just too annoying.
