I’m sure this still holds true, but finding books online has certainly resulted in me buying more books. If I enjoy a book I’m reading I almost always buy a hardback copy. I don’t think I would have bought many (realistically almost all of them) without having read them partially before. It feels like the digital equivalent of reading part of a book in the bookstore.
