Q: If you own an eBook, would you also purchase a print copy as well? (submitted by Tabatha @ Broken Soul Reviews)
A: If I really love an ebook… I mean, REALLY, then I will buy a physical copy of the book. This happens in very rare cases, such as with Becky Chambers’ books. I do this for a couple of reasons:
- To support the author
- Because eBooks aren’t forever
- Usually the cover art is amazing and I need to own it

I read mostly e-books but I have the books I really love also in paperback/hardback and audiobook 😉🥰.

That’s a nice answer. I mostly do it by accident and sometimes I buy an eBook after I’ve bought a physical book because I miss the things that make an ebook convenient.

Thanks! I also go the opposite way sometimes. If I really loved the physical book and want to reread it in a more convenient way I will buy it in ebook.

I’ve enjoyed reading everyone’s BBH answers. 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! 💜😊
I hope you enjoy the rest of your week, Amanda, stay safe and healthy.

Yes to all three of these reasons! You make a good point about e-books not being forever. And it’s hard to resist a beautiful cover of a physical book. And I do like to support authors. It’s why I so often give books as gifts. I hope you have a great week.

Excellent answer. While it hasn’t happened yet, I suspect I might buy a print book for the same reasons 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
