I do.
I like the hard copies too.
Nowadays, I am interested in reading non fiction, biographies, memoirs and auto biographies.
I hardly buy books at the bookshop. I usually borrow them at our local library.
I visited the library to return 2 books and borrowed 3 others. I have one month to read them, no hurries, by the looks of them it’s easy reading.

@vickyrose - I do not know how it is, but I have not a lot more time now that I am retired. The house is big, there is the garden, I am busy all the time.

I love reading books. Prefer reading an actual book to an e-book. The experience is more enjoyable that way.

I had a stage in my life when I didn’t read at all, when the kids were growing up, I didn’t have time. With mature age, i might get to that stage as my eyes are getting more tired.

I borrow books from the library or i buy them from thrift shops. Brand new books are very pricey.

@DianeBorg i love the library. I don’t have a printer now, so I go over there to print stiff or use the internet as it’s fast. I just have a portable internet at home.

I wish I can still squeeze some time to read a good book like I used to when I was younger.

I am an avid reader getting through about 30-40 books in a year. I borrow my books from my local library because it would cost a fortune to buy this many books new. I also buy some of my books from charity shops because then I know that the money goes to a good cause. Charity shops and car boot sales are also good places to find old and rare books.
