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

Voltei a ler. Comprei um Kobo Clara HD usado e instalei o Koreader. Não sei por que não fiz isso antes. Também tenho usado o Calibre para organizar meus livros.

Eu prefiro comprar os livros físicos mas já considerei baixar pirateado, eu desisti porque fiquei com muito medo de pegar um vírus ou malware.
 
I have decided to be like the youths. I have brain rot, no attention span
and no love for classical literature...

therefore I NEVER read books. There's no clout in that
 
I like having physical books. But I live in an apartment now and I can't just buy over 9000 books because I won't be able to store them. ::sailor-embarrassed
Used books can also kind be of steep on Amazon when you factor in shipping. New books are astronomical. I can't pay that much unless there's a sale or I have a coupon. I'd like to get an e-reader. But again, price. You can pay on time on Amazon. But I don't know if it's worth it.
 
Both. I much prefer physical copies, but for a lot of the stuff I read those are kind of hard to find. A lot of the horror stuff I like in particular is nigh-impossible find because most stores seem to only have Stephen King, Joe Hill Anne Rice and Dean Koontz stuff available (not that those authors are bad except for Dean Koontz, who is so formulaic and unimaginative I can't help but imagine a flowchart when reading his stuff). Which is an absolute travesty given how good authors like Brian Keene, David Keene and Johnathan Maberry are. When it comes to manga a lot of the stuff I like is rather obscure seinen, which means unless an anime adaptation is in the works it's hard to find. Comics I have a bit more luck with, but trying to find certain things is nigh-futile. I can't recall seeing a single 2000 AD collection for example, or a graphic novel volume of NoTLD: Aftermath or The Extinction Parade in a very long time. So I often use ereaders to fill the gaps.
 
The author's of most books i like are long dead so i don't feel bad about pirating them.
Folio Society do some really nice physicals though, but they are expensive.
