I have very little room for more books (not to mention money isn't exactly falling off the trees), so I mainly stick to online.

However, if I find a series that I like enough online, then I will buy the printed version. I actually prefer doing it this way rather than investing on a series and find out that it is either discontinued or takes a tangent that I do not like.

I enjoy hard copies of things. There is something very 451 about having things on in the internet.

I went into a bookstore recently and it's probably a good thing I didn't have spare money because I was considering about $100 worth of manga...

I am very distressed from not buying manga in such a long time xD

[Mizeria]

I'm the "there's-much-more-satisfaction-owning-my-own-pocket-in-my-bookshelf"
I have over 200 manga books... and (at last count over 27 series)
^.^;;

[Serra Britt]

I'm not sure I want to count but I have a large manga collection xD It fills almost 2 small bookshelves with some space for a few figures :3

[Gallowsraven]

I don't have the money, i only own one or two, i borrow the rest or read online. such a bummer, i'm jealous :)

[Joey]

I like both. I like to read online to read a series. And same with having it in book form. Also, I like to support the author too by buying the different volumes that were released in my area (When I have money to spent, etc).

[Quiet Man Cometh]

I like books, but as with most I cannot afford to buy all that I would like, and don't have the space yet if I could. If I have something illustrated though, particularly in colour, I much prefer to have a book or other hard copy rather than anything digital. The image never seems to come off as good to me online as when I can see it on paper.

[Shei_Beloved]

I'd rather own the book if I can afford it something about being able to flip the pag just makes it so much better but if I have to I'll download the book

[Sushi]

I'm a reading on the internet type. I either don't have the money, can't get to a bookstore, or have no where to put it when it comes to buying manga. :(

I LOVE looking at my bookshelf and seeing all the pretty spines of my books. x3
Unfortunately right now it's empty as my books are packed up in boxes since I'm moving this weekend but when they're up there my bookshelf is just about overflowing. I need a nice big one. D:

I got a Nook from my aunt as a late Christmas present and it's a great little gadget, but I'll never stop buying actual physical books as long as they're being printed. The books I go out and buy now though tend to be ones that I'm looking forward to.

So I do prefer having my own physical books and being able to see them fill up a space and look oh-so-lovely but I also enjoy the convenience and innovation of online reading and using my Nook.

EDIT ;; Oh ya! I saw a commercial for the Kindle recently and there was a girl and guy comparing having an actual book and having a Kindle.
The girl at the end was saying something about how she can mark her place in her book, "the satisfaction of BENDING back the page!"
SHE 'EFFIN DOGTAGGED HER PAGE! DX
Omgomgomg I can't handle that shit! I was about ready to throw something at my tv lmao.
Maybe a little extreme but I hate it when people bend pages and stuff like that. I can't even buy a book if it has bent pages and junk.
That's probably my OCD side but I also just can't stand it when people do that stuff ugh!
- end rant -

Lol ya I just remembered that and had to get it out lol. OTL

[Feythfull]

i am one of those people who like to own the book Dx i really shouldn't spend so much money on it.

[Vanitas]

I only read manga online and I do buy books which is rare, but I absolutely love reading and when it comes to books I'm the type who likes to have their own bookshelf person 8D

[Sailor Moon]

I enjoy having the copy in my hands, but I will do reading online.
Because some of the things I read aren't released in English at all.

[Ichiru]

The best thing is holding the book in my hands to read. I sort of enjoy the art more then online. But I have no problem with online reading. My tight budget makes me read online. :W If that wasn't the case I'd probably buy them all.

[Shenandoah]

I'm both. I can't afford all the manga I read and most of the time, I'll just read it online. But there are some series that I am so in love with, I buy them.
