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

[Thilom593]

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 always go physical for books and comic books.

Anna’s Archive all the way

I hope it won't get closed off because there are some books I literally cannot find.

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.
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.

Always physical

 

[gokusmacksmyds]

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.

 

[JellyjamLu]

I buy books physically, alot of em' cos 90s Goosebumps collecting.

 

[BrawlMan]

Physical only for books and comic books. I stopped buying manga in the 2000s. Tried briefly in the early 2020s, but could not keep up and got frustrated with Battle Angel: Mars Chronicles.

 

[JoueurCitoyen]

Hello, physical books only. My city's libary network is endless and free as far as mangas and novels are concerned. And I want to reduce my screen time (which is way too big), even if digital readers are way less stimulating than a phone or a tablet

 

[SolemnlyDoc]

I love to have physical books, but having no access to a library means its a luxury when I do get to purchase them. I probably have a hundred digital copies of books and only about 12 or so physical copies.

 

[Pseudo64]

Considering you kind of don't own your ebooks and sometimes kindle reader would remove a book or even edit books without your knowledge, I am and will always be a physical reader.
There is another fact that unlike movies or games, I don't associate books with screen but instead paper.

Anywhere, here's my concerning collection

What you are seeing is 50% of my books, there are another row of books behind these books lol
