Do you buy rent or borrow? Or do you have a subscription of some kind? Do you read physical books or do you read ebooks?

Bit of a mix really. I’ll mostly buy them on kindle but I’ve been a bit more mindful of money and just supporting libraries recently so I’ll check to see if it’s available in the local library first.

If it’s a special / meaningful book I’ll buy a physical copy (preferably a signed one!) but I try to keep this limited just due to space! Can get a lot more books on my kindle than I can on the book shelf

I’ve also been into audiobooks recently - as it’s much easier to listen to a book during those late night toddler wakes than it is to read (plus good when I have to drive any long distances) - for audio books I quite like audible (preferably when it supports whisper sync so I can switch between reading on my kindle and listening). I probably need to check to see if my library can provide audio books too!
