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.

Certainly. I'm often in the habit of re-reading books, so if there's a book I really like I'll buy it if I run across a copy. I mostly borrow books from libraries and that's a good way to find titles to acquire. I also buy books to recommend and lend to others.

I don't read ebooks because of DRM concerns.
