Do you buy physical books or use a reader ? (or both

[Poppet]

I use both. I love my e-reader to be able to read fanfics, comics and discover new books, but I also like owning my favourites!

real books only

I usually download PDF, but if the book is in physical in a thrift shop, come to home baby

I collect non fiction and text books and shit but those tend to be expensive so I have to pirate pretty often. There are some I really wanna read or at least skim through for now which don't have torrents yet and I'm trying not to go out of my way to buy them out of some perceived scarcity because I am broke.

Bit of both. Though as much I love reading physical books (aged paper smell and the tactile feeling for the win), it's more convenient to use in E-reader in most cases (I use "ReadEra" myself)

I get migraines entirely too easily. It's incredibly difficult to even read manga on my phone comfortably so I prefer physical books. I love going to the library and book stores and finding things I otherwise wouldn't have read. That being said idk what they put in the paperwhite kindle to make it so easy on the eyes. I got one as a gift just to try. It easily jumped to one of my most used devices.

The "digital ink" e-readers are beautiful. Exactly the kind of future we should be embracing because it spares the trees and spoils the literate :P
