It depends. I read a lot of manga. Which is the main reason I wanted to buy a reader in the first place. I have purchased many volumes form the book store, but I ran out of shelf space for them, and I don’t want to get rid of them to make room for new ones. It’s nice to be able to have a ton of manga in one spot and not filling up my shelves. Also I can’t find it in ebook format. Some series like Naruto have about 50+ volumes and they are sold at 10 bucks a volume. Realistically I can't be spending that much. I wish they would sell lit in a format like shonen jump magazine, but it would only be a single series. It would be cheaper and there would be more chapters in one place. I think that would cut back on people just reading scans. But I do prefer the way the scans are translated, they are also more up to date. I still give support by buying merch. I have a ton of naruto shirts and other stuff.
If I was the author and fan was supporting me in other ways I wouldn’t mind if they pirated my work.
For the non manga books on my reader, I own them in paper version. I don’t see the point in rebuying them just because I rather read them on my reader.
