I’m someone who’s always liked nice editions and hardcover books, though I haven’t bought any for a while. I’ve been tempted recently to buy a few classics in hardcover, but then I glance over to the kindle price (which is usually <1$), and I find it hard to justify. Or you can find a used paperback edition either online or in a bookstore for very cheap. Of course, buying a few nice editions now and then would not break the bank, but it still feels like quite a frivolous use of money.
How do you approach this decision? I don’t think there’s any “correct” answer here, since there’s nothing wrong with spending money on things you like, nor with wanting to minimise unnecessary spending. Just interested to hear people’s thoughts.
