Although they take physical space, find I am more apt to buy (physical) books again, especially reference books, because my ability to find good information on the web is declining rapidly. Probably 80% of my searches are ending on grey-goo now, and if you use any mainstream search engine they are feeding you tidbits of stolen information via AI (also essentially grey goo, with no additional information or references).

I now preferentially use YouTube, Wikipedia, and Google Books to find information, instead of any search engine. (because of the likelihood of running into crap).

(Search for "widgets" and you're likely to get 5 pages of "The history of widgets is interesting. Let me tell you a little bit about widgets. Experts don't agree on what this widget does, but we can talk about the various ways this widget might be used. Blah blah blah.")
