For me is:
My native language is spanish, so having good quality translations is kinda difficult to get and is more easy to buy them.
Having a book does help me getting in a reading mood.
I love watching my progress of the book I'm reading instead of numbers.
Pick and go.
Feels good to support your favorite author.
Looking around on used or new books is like hunting for a treasure.
