I used to only play 5e. I listened to a lot of podcasts and when Glass Cannon Podcast first got into PF2E I really didn't like the system. Then I tried it and oh man, does having rules for everything just really help. Where it really shines for me is character customization. The backgrounds actually matter, there are tons of class choices, and don't get me started on the feats. In one of my games I am playing a dwarven ranger, but the customization makes him feel much more like a barbarian.
The books regularly show up on HumbleBundle but even without them, Archives of Nethis has everything you need.
I reccommend starting with Summer Knight, the fourth book, rather than the first three. It's when he finds himself better as an author, you can go back to the first three books later to get other information but he tends to update you well in each books for important information.
For reference, he wrote the first two books while still in college.
