Do you usually purchase digital or physical books? Why? (self.asklemmy)

No. Usually I get digital books from the library system here. I enjoy reading print on the Kindle, very comfortable to the eyes, but if I tried to buy everything I wanna read I'd be in debtor's prison.

Comics, graphic novels I buy in print because there isn't a good digital way to read them. I do read some webcomics on a cheap color tablet, but I enjoy them more on paper.

If I want to own a book for some reason I get it on paper usually, but if I want to read it the library system works a large majority of the time.
