Do you usually purchase digital or physical books? Why? (sh.itjust.works)

The only thing I buy physical copies of are art books and bird ID books. My phone screen isn’t a good size for viewing detailed art, and even a large tablet isn’t ideal because of how colors can vary depending on screen settings.

Otherwise I usually don’t buy ebooks either, I check them out from my local library with Libby. I don’t typically do a lot of rereads, and when I do it’s easy to recheck them out.
