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?

I love physical books and rely mostly on my local library, on donation boxes, and sometimes on my local bookshop.

I also love ebooks, so if I'm not 100% sure I'll enjoy a book I usually get it on libgen, and then if I've liked it enough that I want to (literally) showcase it and pass it around to my friends, I go to my local bookshop and get the paper version.
