    I have found that i have abandoned print books all together. The font doesn't increase when I do the two finger thing lol… When I see a book I am interested i first check Logos, then audiobook, then Kindle. I prefer Logos books not only because they are folded into my study, but also because I can either read or listen to them anywhere.

    I used to prefer purchasing in Logos if available (unless there was a significant price difference)

    Now…. Well, until I am once again comfortable with the path Logos is taking - I lean towards purchasing an ebook/mobi version if available - at least I can easily view those with compatible readers.

    I only buy Logos books. I have no shelf room for paper books.

    Reading in Logos is easier on my body. With paper books, or holding a kindle, I get neck/shoulder aches; my head is arched down more, my shoulder says 'no more.'

    I've bought books elsewhere that were available to me in Logos, mainly because the price was very right. I'm dealing with a conversion rate; I can't afford to be Logos-only (as much I would love to be!).

    I have primarily been digital for over 15 years. Sometimes I have to buy a book on the Kindle, or worse on paper, but my first stop is always Logos. My book budget on Logos over the years definitely shows it too!

    I'm with @Pastor Don Carpenter and @Donovan R. Palmer - I purchase books on Logos if they are available on Logos, and Kindle if not, and if they are not available on Logos or Kindle then I note them on my "To Be Read" list and wait for them to show up on Logos or Kindle. Right now I have bookmarks in four books - the Bible (of course), a book I'm reading on my own, and two books I'm reading with groups - and all four are open in Logos. When I do read a book on the Kindle - meaning the Windows Kindle app - it's truly annoying to have to leave Logos.

    I always choose Logos when possible when buying Christian books; but if the book I am looking for is unavailable then I look to another digital bookseller for it and also to buy e-books relating to my other interests. I don't care to mix secular books with the resources in my Logos library. However, the problem I have with the other online bookseller is that I am very dissatisfied with their e-reader devices and tablets. My books have always downloaded from Logos to my computer within minutes after I have purchased them but not so with the other bookseller, if they download at all. The only print book I read and study these days is my worn, wide-margin KJV Bible which I have used for 40 years and trust will always be there for me, no matter what happens to the digital content I currently own.♥️ ✝️📖🕊️

    Yes, whenever Logos actually acquires the type of theological and original language books I want or that I find valuable I choose Logos.

    For me it's:
    Bibles, prayer books, breviaries, and other liturgical texts - Physical book, usually with a nice leather binding. There's a tactile component here, and something to be said for engaging with a book instead of a screen.

    Monographs, church histories and similar texts meant to be read all the way through once in a linear fashion - Audible audiobook. I'm much more likely to finish these if I can "read" them on my commute.

    Commentaries, interlinears, encyclopedias, atlases, and other reference works - I love these on Logos! They become so much more useful. All the information is right there.

    Random books - Logos. Most books fall into this category of things I'm not likely to read and wouldn't give up shelf space for, but if they're free on Logos or included with some package I want, they're great to have! Without the downsides of storing and organizing them, I can have thousands of books just waiting for me to go down whatever reading rabbit hole will lead me in their direction.
