I started checking out physical books from the library, the hold time is much less than it is for the digital copies. Plus with COVID they set the books outside ready for me to pick up.

Why not both? I love physical books and have hundreds backlogged in my library but I also have a Kindle Paperwhite and love it. Most new releases I want to read go on the Kindle and I always have two books going at a time, one physical and one electronic. The Kindle is great for reading at night and for traveling. Best of both worlds!

I also recommend using Goodreads.com to track your reading lists and for setting reading goals each year. I'm about 10 books behind my goal this year due to re-reading Sanderson's Stormlight Archive series in anticipation of his new book next month. They are so long that it takes out around 3-4 books I could have read in the same time for each of his books but they're so good!
