Do you buy books you have already read? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Do you buy physical books you have already read?

For example; I have read a book named “The Words We Keep” digitally. I loved it, it really resonated with me because it’s about something - I personally have and struggle with as well.

Thinking to buy the book physically but feel like, I can’t justify it due to the fact that I’ve already read it.

I don’t really re-read books either.

I have never read an e-book. I either read library books and/or buy a new copy off the shelf if I really like it, although I only read one or two novels a year right now.

I tried audiobooks, but they're not for me. I need to read at my own pace because I constantly get lost in my thoughts, and must re-read sentences to actually register them in my brain.

Born in 1997 if that matters to anyone considering my habits.

Love ebooks on eink readers like kindle. But I turn the Kindle to airplane mode and load books by Calibre.
