What are some tips to feel reading ebooks like physical copies.

(Sorry for my lack of English, it isn’t my native language)
I have only read physical books my whole life and I absolutely love the physical sensation of gripping the book and turning pages, sometimes taking notes in the margins or underlining/highlighting passages (mostly non fiction books). The book cover looks for fictions are amazing, and after finishing the book, there is a feeling of accomplishment when I put the book on the shelves and confirm it.

Currently, I have moved in to a very small one bed apartment located in downtown, and there is no room for physical books(had to throw away so many books including manga collections…). So I’m trying to read with my IPad and kindle, but I just don’t feel the same excitement when reading it digitally. I know it may be the same information or same image, but there is some psychological perception difference between reading or seeing the physically printed book from looking at the digital copy in the screen, visually verifying and feeling the accomplishment from its physical presence is lacking. The feeling of just touching the screen to turn pages doesn’t feel the same either.

Although it doesn’t take space, is much more convenient and portable, it somewhat numbs the reading experience personally.
Overall, this resulted in losing interest in my reading experience. (which I already have 400 TBR ebooks from impulse buying, yet lack any enthusiasm from the thought that those are mere digital bits),
being more easily distracted to YouTube, social media etc.

TLDR: Is there any way/tips to overcome such gap of reading physically and digitally?
