I do, but way less than I used to.
I do it partly so I can dog-ear pages, write on them, and highlight them, but mostly because quite a few publishers still just absolutely suck at formatting code samples in e-books. as an industry, they're 20 years into it and they haven't figured it out, which is just pitiful, and paying attention to that on a publisher-by-publisher basis would be an absurd waste of memory.
if I buy an ebook, it's almost guaranteed to be one the author published themselves.
edit: the other reason I do it is I have very good memory when it comes to where in a book I saw something. I can often just pick up the book and open it to the exact page, even years afterwards. I recently did that with one of Elena Feranti's Neapolitan novels, and they're often over 1000 pages. I haven't seen anything equivalent with ebooks, so for me, in that particular respect, they're inferior.
