Digital Books Yes or No?

Hii! I normally read from Kindle or Apple Books, I don't usually purchase books unless I know I already like the book or the author (and in most cases my books are actually gifts from my dad so I actually rarely buy them myself)
I normally purchase mine on Kindle just because it is cheaper and doesn't take up physical space. But I still do buy some physical books because there is something so comforting about holding a book!
I read mostly ebooks on Kobo or Kindle app now, but I used to buy books of my fave authors in print. Alas, I ran out of shelf space, hence mostly digital nowadays. I purchase 90% of them, 10% are freebies.
For all that Kindle is a must when you are an author, and it has personally made me a lot of money, I am still a paperback girl! All the books I read are physical copies. I want to smell it, touch it, turn the page - it's part of the experience for me! :D
Paperbacks will always be my favorite book format, but as someone from a non-English speaking country who reads in nothing but English, digital copies are what is most easily available to me. Otherwise, I'd have to buy overseas and wait weeks for them to be delivered.
I’ve read ebooks for several years now, either through the library or purchasing digital copies through Amazon.
I love ebooks, audiobooks, and paperbacks.I'll buy audiobooks with credits from audible or when they are having a sale. But I primarily borrow from my library's digital catalogue.
As for ebooks, I buy them when they go on sale or borrow from KU or prime reading.
I will read paperbacks from the library or buy them if I really loved them or I found a good deal on them. I also subscribe to book boxes so I get quite a few from there.
I actually read on my phone. I use 3 apps kindle, nook, and a 3rd party app called ereader prestigio.
No for me! I used to read on kindle but there’s something about a physical book that makes the experience so nice for me. I purchase books I know I’ll love and head to my local library for more!
I have to order most books on Amazon because I don’t have any book shops in my area so I tend to read on Apple Books when I’m waiting for my deliveries but I do prefer having physical books for when I’m at school and stuff like that
There's something about seeing your books fill the bookshelves but I also like having my books with me wherever I go. So I tend to buy books on digital then if I really really like it, I'll buy a physical copy
I love having physical books but ebooks are more convenient for me with commuting and travelling. I only buy physical books from shops around me so I end up getting a lot as ebooks when the shops don't carry everything.

You should check out BookBub for cheaper/free ebooks! I think it's more in-depth if you're in the US but it's still handy in Europe (just can't leave reviews on it yet).





a. I really love the book I just read.
b. I can't find on either Overdrive or Amazon Unlimited...And I'm familiar enough with the author's work to not be disappointed (just purchased Kulti).
So I'm wondering how many other readers choose to purchase all the books they're reading and if those books are digital or not.
