I’ve started test driving the books via library, and anything reread or reference worthy can get a spot on my shelf, preferably off a used bookstore’s shelf.

Exactly this. I forgot how expensive books could be, even used, so I frequent the library way more. I always purchase used and only purchase books I’ve read and liked.

Same. We currently don't have a lot of space so I'll often get the ebook and note on a list to purchase certain books as physical copies in the future, when we have more space. I always check the market first, though - some books are out of print so I might want to be on the lookout for them. Or I prefer a certain physical format (I really love the small paperback versions of certain novels from the 60s - 80s, for example).
