I generally read via Kindle, although I have a plethora of physical books (if people remember those). My parents had so many books they could have been considered hoarders. I read completely nearly every book I start, even if I get bogged down (I hated "A Secret History" immensely but I finished it; I managed to defeat "Ulysses" omg). I have a few favorites that I go back to again, and hope to find books that I can enjoy as much as those dozen favorites. Someone who recommends a book that becomes one of my favorites is deserving of all of my love.
Reveal your book dealings!
 
I quite enjoy my physical copy paperback books. Most of the time, trips to Barnes and Noble have me leaving with a book. Trying to make my own little library of sorts.
 
I have a nook glowlight which is super convenient for reading e-books but it still makes me miss physical books! I recently got a library card and i've been checking out a couple of books every month. i'm struggling with keeping an interest in my selections lately though. :|
 
I have a shit ton of both eBooks and physical books and I haven't paid for most of them..

Most of my physical books were inherited from my late great-grandmother.. and most of these books are out of print so I don't touch them often.. the others, I paid for myself for college and though we never really used them often, I spent like $500 on them and they would have only given me $125 for all of them, including the software.. so I decided to keep them.. and my husband brought his with him when he moved in before we got married.

Aside from that, I downloaded the rest..
