Good question, and that's the main reason I prefer to own physical books over Kindle books. I know that I own a physical book, but a Kindle book can disappear at any moment. Kindles are great while traveling though.

Do you often reread old books? I find that most books are only read once and then discarded, but it's hard to tell which ones are before buying.

I don’t even have a concept of an “old” book or of “reading” a book, I just keep them around for inspiration, going back for some quote, rereading, showing someone, etc. I mean I also almost never finish them, or even try to read them in linear order...

It really depends on the type of book. muzani might be thinking novels, while you could be thinking textbooks.

Yes, I do.
