Sure, I re-read a lot of books. I just wanted to point out that the question was maybe a bit misleading. I think the availability factor is important. Some books you need to read a a certain time to participate in the discussion of the book. So in a sense there i a timedependent experience that you can miss.
And some books as for exemple price nominated books you might loose the interest to read after the voting if the books are bad.
For TV series and if you not live in the US and want to watch them without having seen spoilers and or if you want to participate in forums about the series you have to download them in any way they are available.
