They missed me when conducting the survey.
I, gradually, stopped buying printed - hardback editions - books. Right now there are 3 printed books on my to-buy-list. Two of them are the last instalments in two series and the third is a leather bound copy of one of the other two. That's it.
It is possible that I might come across a book/series that I love so much that I would like to purchase special editions or at the very least hardback editions. However, in my 4 years ebook reading life, only Harry Potter has been awarded this honour. I have read a couple of books that I really loved, for example: The Book Thief, but when it comes to part with hard earned money, after I have read the story and know the ending...it is tough.

P.S. Naturally, I don't purchase any paperbacks or second hand books anymore. At all.
