For me, I tend to backup books since I will go back and re-read favourites plus when a new book in a series appears, I will go back and re-read a few books in the series. One book I read this week was Eric Flint's Mother of Demons since I had just finished the last book in the 1632 series that he collaborated on before his death.
I can understand people who do not worry about re-reading. The majority of people who read books read fewer books in a year that I do in a slow month. The average number in one study from 2023 was 12.6 books per year for the number of people in the poll who actually read books for pleasure.
That being said, the average poster on MobileRead are likely to read many more books in a year than that average but since many posters also have fairly massive TBR piles, having the time to go back to re-read might seem an improbability.
