I don't have to rely upon the good graces of my friends and relatives when moving, for one. Secondly, if I'm traveling, an ebook reader is lighter to pack. Thirdly, I don't need a separate flashlight for reading under the covers at night when it's cold out.

I built bookcases to house all my books. Granted, I'm talking about hundreds, not thousands of books.

Among US newspapers, I'd recommend reading any two of the following: NY Times, Washington Post, Houston Chronicle, LA Times. The first two lean left, the second two lean right. The WSJ has a good reputation, but they're owned by Murdoch now so I refuse to give them money on general principle. Probably The Economist is the best business-oriented alternative.
And yes, Bannon is much more fake than CNN or the BBC. He's a propagandist, not a journalist.
