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.

No. I used to be a die-hard supporter of physical books, but completely changed my mind after seeing the pollution caused by a paper mill first hand.

I now buy digital copies exclusively, and thanks to the reMarkable 2 I can also get textbooks and take handwritten notes and stuff as I would in a physical book.
