I won't ever read a comic on a computer screen, so my ubiquity isn't quite the same as your ubiquity. But with so much having been reprinted, or getting reprinted, there's very little that I want which is out of my grasp. I did enjoy the thrill of the hunt when I first started collecting. There's still comics in my collection where my first thought about them is "I remember finally checking that off my list". But in the last ten or twenty years, I'm more interested in just efficiently getting items crossed off my list.
Spontaneous buys don't usually benefit me anymore. I'm much more often disappointed than not.

Comics somewhat less, but I'm fine with it. Art books are the exception. |

I only use digital as a tool, to check books out. On a large widescreen monitor it looks actual size, if not better. Then I get the actual comics if they're of interest (well over 1,500 in my stash came along using that method).
I did that with my namesake, RAGS, since it started of as a Patreon exclusive.

Imagine the day all those old golden age/silver age/Bronze Age comics no longer have ugly re-colouring... Though we'll all be in nursing homes by then! I never thought I'd come to miss newsprint, but Marvel and DC found a way 😅
