This Week's question's:
If you own an ebook, would you also purchase a print copy as well?
Well, I had a strange relationship with e-books for years. I always just
downloaded Kindle freebies on my phone, or used my e-reader for review
copies that were made available on digital format. A couple years ago,
though, I finally received a Kindle as a birthday present, and it really
changed my opinion on digital reading! That said, I usually get a vibe when
a book is going to be THE book, so usually, I buy directly a printed copy,
while I buy ebooks for those titles that can be related to my compulsive
buying.
Nevertheless, I just finished an excellent ebook that might just be the
first that I will have both in print and digital edition:
Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert... I can not imagine not having this on my shelf!
So the answer to the question is:
Yes, I would, if the book is worth having also physically!

"Before I knew him well enough, before I realised how much it meant that he'd lived by crime and passion for eight years in Bombay without making a single enemy and without borrowing a single dollar, I tended to dismiss Didier as little more than an amusing but hopeless drunkard. It was an easy mistake to make, and one that he himself encouraged.
Ouch, nothing saucy in this page, but hope you get intrigued! Shantaram is such a different book from my usual, but tons of interesting things to learn!
Link me up your memes and I will certainly stop by! Happy weekend xx
I find that I read more because of the shift to digital. If I tried to own a print of every digital copy I have, it would get a bit ridiculous.
RispondiEliminaI hope you're enjoying it! Thanks for sharing. :)
RispondiEliminaI wish I could see the cover, but I like that snippet. It sounds so different from my usual reads but in a good way. :-) Happyw eekend, stay safe!
RispondiEliminaIs it not showing? I'm trying to get used to the Blogger format again, but a lot of things have changed and I'm struggling :/
EliminaShantaram really is a different book, and also an engaging one!
Thank you for stopping by! xx
Hi! I do like that beginning, it is long, but written well! I would buy a physical book if I loved the ebook loads!
RispondiEliminaHere is my Friday Post. Stay well!
I use my kindle for ebook only type reads too. Though I haven't really found the love everyone has for the ebook reader like everyone else has. I find it convenient, but given the choice I'd still choose the real book! Lol.

Have a GREAT day!

A book I just finished had an underestimated drunkard. Didier reminded me of that character so far. Thanks for sharing :)
RispondiEliminaI will get a physical copy of an ebook, if I really loved the book. However, I can't read ebooks on my mobile, it tires me. Kindle is a different story - I find reading there very easy!

Yes, buying the actual device was a game changer for me! Before, I used to read on my phone or on tablets but I found that the classic black and white Kindle screen allows to read way more. Thank you for stopping by xx
EliminaI'm more of an ebook reader too, Sara. The short answer for me is generally no. However, if I've read an ebook by a favourite author that I'd like to get signed one day then yes! 💜😊
RispondiEliminaI hope you enjoy the rest of your week, stay safe and healthy.
Here's my BBH Post

Yes! This is me too. I will buy a physical copy of an e-book I already own if it is a favorite. Like you, I have become picky about the physical books I do buy. You are so right about e-books being more impulse buys. LOL
RispondiEliminaI hope you are enjoying Shantaram. I have that on my TBR shelf and have been wanting to read it.
Have a great week!
