lizzybuffy200822. Do you still buy physical books, or do you tend to buy e-books these days? Does it depend on the type of book (i.e. fiction or non-fiction)?
I really do not buy books at all anymore (unless it is something I really want to read and the library does not have it. That has happened once in a few years.) We started using the library before COVID and that is how we get physical and ebooks. The format mostly depends on what is available. Ebooks are easier, but sometimes you cannot get them, so physical works. I read 50 books last year, so if I were buying them and then not re-reading (which I usually don't,) that IMO would be costly and wasteful.
