Do you read ‘physical books’?

In tweeting about a KXLY story re: the sale of venerable Auntie's Bookstore in downtown Spokane, Melissa Luck of KXLY asks: "Do you still read physical books? I do. I refuse to go digital. Glad my fave Spokane bookstore will stay intact." I have three physical books at home now that I'm reading. But I also read digital, esp. on vacation. The books are from the library. My kindle contains books from Amazon. I confess: I don't buy physical books. I'm to physical books what a lot of social media readers are to newspapers. I browse the shelves at Hastings. But I rarely buy. If I see something I like, I check the library or Amazon. How about you?

Question Do you read/buy physical books?
