No because the library exists for both.

Physical because I write in my books, it keeps me more engaged in the reading process. I also like having them on my shelf and ready to share with a friend or colleague.

Physical. I enjoy thrift shopping for books cheap - mostly unusual cooking books.

Almost always digital on my tablet or phone these days (I have a Kindle too but just can't get used to the display), but I'll buy physical copies to keep and/or give away if I really like them.

I tend to buy ebooks nowadays just because it's convenient. I find ereader experience nowadays is pretty much the same as reading a regular book.

Audiobooks mainly. I fix machines or create my own diy projects with my hands so I can continue it's much easier to consume.

If the series I'm listening to is really good, I end up subscribing to their patreon and reading chapters as soon as they release them.

I purchase mostly digital books because I use to read at night next to my sleeping partner and e-reader is the easiest way for me. Also O don't have a very big house to store all. Now from a piracy vs purchase point of view: I actually buy ebooks as a mark of support to authors I like very much. Now I must confess that for some very popular authors, I trend to think that one book pirated or one book bought won't change a lot for them. So I buy mostly less known or indie authors at the end.

Physical, though I usually get them from the library. When I do buy them, it's physical too, so I can lend them out, or give them away.

Maybe a third of the books I read are gifts or loaners from friends.

[-] Jedi@bolha.forum 1 points 1 year ago

Yes. I like to read.

[-] skybreaker@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Physical. But only after I've pirated it digitally if I enjoyed it enough

eMule, for my partner's e-reader
