Do you buy physical books you have already read?

For example; I have read a book named “The Words We Keep” digitally. I loved it, it really resonated with me because it’s about something - I personally have and struggle with as well.

Thinking to buy the book physically but feel like, I can’t justify it due to the fact that I’ve already read it.

I don’t really re-read books either.

    I’ma similar boat. I’ve decided that I’ll buy the physical book of after a while I still feel like the book I’d meaningful to me. I’ve got a short list of books I’ve read digitally that I’ll buy physically.

      My rule is basically: If it’s visually interesting, such as a good graphic novel or something with good art, I might go and buy the physical book after I’ve read it digitally. Otherwise, if I intend to lend it out, I’ll get the physical copy. Most of my friends aren’t e-book people, so it makes sense.

      I finished reading the book end May, so around 4-5 months passed and still thinking about it.

      The list is a good idea! Might do the same.
