I have two copies of the Star Wars novelization of Revenge of the Sith, one I bought years ago in hardback and the other in a compendium of all three prequel novelizations. Plus a few classics like Beowulf by different translators.

I also have a variety of nonfiction in multiple formats, because I got a bunch of ebooks years ago. Never actually read them because my old Kindle died and I tried putting Adobe Editions and then Calibre on my computer but ran into problems with DRM and other issues and just didn’t get around to fixing them. And now I’ve been buying some nonfiction in print and found that, oops, I already had the ebook. But I’m determined to get to the ebooks at some point because now I have a new phone that actually works and have been experimenting with some FOSS reader apps. (If you have any recs for Android, I’d love to hear it.)
