Reply to comment by koavf in Digital Books wear out faster than Physical Books - Internet Archive Blogs by koavf

I 100% agree, it's just that I read too much that I'd be hundreds of bucks a month, so digital is just the cheapest and most convenient version for me. Also, there are some books I read that its a lot easier to just read it digitally (you know... thooooose books)

For me, paper is for books I want to read again (and again) and digital is for books I am not sure, or are fluffy books that I will likely only read once. If a digital book is a surprise favorite, I'll buy a physical copy.

Not every book I read needs to be a forever book.

And libraries! Being able to check out the next one in a series immediately is a pleasure I'll never get over!

Used books stores can be pretty cheap.

Or eBay, thrift stores, etc.

USPS has media mail rates meaning I can frequently find very specific books for like $5 total online if they are older.

Also for finding something random I love just taking the time to go through that hige wall of books at a thrift store to dig out something that looks interesting. $1 or $2 per book usually.
