ONLY buy them if you have read from the author before and liked it, or if you have read the other books in the series beforehand (if it’s a new one). If it’s something you read before and liked enough, then go buy it! Especially if it’s in a pretty cover haha.

Another thing: if you can easily find the ebook book online (for free) then it’s best to stick with that rather than actually buying the books.

I find these things have helped me save cash. I have bought many books I disliked (which were EXPENSIVE) because I thought it was better to just read it when the physical book arrived. If I had read it before, believe me when I say I would have skipped out on it :(

I agree with Evelin! Something that I also do is that if I have bought an e-copy (or borrowed it from the library) and ended up falling head over heels for it, then I'll buy a physical copy.
It definitely helps keep my shelves organized and less crowed. 😊

I guess that is what I'm doing right now. Every book that has a bigger chance of being a letdown or from a new author, I download those already.

Maybe this phrase the issue better. The books that I already own (from authors I really like, books that I highly anticipate) I don't read them as I usually just start another book on my e-reader. But I know, that once I download those books (the ones I own) then I will read them immediately. But that just feels like such a waste of my money?

Same with reading first on e-book and then buying them if I really love them, I wonder if I would reread them physically instead of digitally again :(
