Almost entirely digital now. As for why:
- backlight
- font size adjustment
- built in dictionary
- local library closed for a few years
- lighter/better form factor than most books I read
I find I buy far more books now that I have an e-ink reader.

Full price books? Digital. Then second hand physical (rarely) and books from a library.
Audiobooks mainly. I fix machines or create my own diy projects with my hands so I can continue it's much easier to consume.
If the series I'm listening to is really good, I end up subscribing to their patreon and reading chapters as soon as they release them.
Yes. I like to read.
Physical, i like reading it more than stareing at a screen
audio.
Physical. But only after I've pirated it digitally if I enjoyed it enough
I aquire thrm digitally... In the high seas.
Physical, though I usually get them from the library. When I do buy them, it's physical too, so I can lend them out, or give them away.
Maybe a third of the books I read are gifts or loaners from friends.
I purchase mostly digital books because I use to read at night next to my sleeping partner and e-reader is the easiest way for me. Also O don't have a very big house to store all. Now from a piracy vs purchase point of view: I actually buy ebooks as a mark of support to authors I like very much. Now I must confess that for some very popular authors, I trend to think that one book pirated or one book bought won't change a lot for them. So I buy mostly less known or indie authors at the end.
eMule, for my partner's e-reader
I tend to buy ebooks nowadays just because it's convenient. I find ereader experience nowadays is pretty much the same as reading a regular book.
