Do you buy physical books you have already read?

For example; I have read a book named “The Words We Keep” digitally. I loved it, it really resonated with me because it’s about something - I personally have and struggle with as well.

Thinking to buy the book physically but feel like, I can’t justify it due to the fact that I’ve already read it.

I don’t really re-read books either.

Yeah, I usually like to have a physical copy of something I really enjoyed. I like the reminder as in the barrage of content these days even things dear to me can get memory holed. Also any time I'm traveling I like to take a physical book with me, so it's always nice to have old favorites on hand when it comes up.
