Books are painful to move and store, so I try to only buy physical copies of books that I've particularly enjoyed. There are some books that I know I will want a physical copy of immediately, but I'll often get the book from the library first (either physically or digitally). We keep a running list of books that we'd like to physically own and pick them up at thrift stores, book fairs, or from the neighborhood library boxes when we see them. I also often get few books a year as gifts. We probably have 150-200 physical books in the apartment across two 200x80cm billy bookshelves. ebooks are very available if you know where to look and much easier to lug from city to city.
