Yes. :) I have been reading two books concurrently for years now - one hard copy and the other Kindle, FWIW.

Paperback for me. I do own a Kindle but I rarely use it.
I only read physical copies of books.
A mix.
No “absolute rules”, but usually Kindle when travelling, library books when at home.
And comics...mainly read via comixology.

I read a fair few of his novels many years ago. And a few of his short stories, which I think I think I enjoyed even more.
Certainly worth a read to see what you think. The novel enjoyed most was “Do Androids dream of Electric Sheep”, which formed basis for the film “Blade Runner”.
I read mostly physical and use the kindle for fun, dumb vacation books.
Journey to the End of the Night, by Louis-Ferdinand Céline. Had this one in the "to read" list from quite a while and today I decided to finally start reading it

Comics on an app since there isn't comic shop within 50 miles of me. Physical books most of the time otherwise except for RPG books - the downloads are normally much cheaper.

I always like paper better. The numbers of books I've read in my iPad are minimum and they're mostly material to study for college. When it comes to comicbooks, there's a better balance, but even then, the quantity of stories I consume digitally doesn't come nowhere near the amount of physical comics I read

[I]On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous[/I] by Ocean Vuong, a novel written as a letter by a first generation Vietnamese American immigrant son to his mother, detailing the history of his family and the complicated relationship between the two with some revelations about his own life. Reads like a memoir with some poetic flourishes and a non-linear narrative.
Thanks a lot JackDaw!
New Kindle book: [I]Reed Anthony, Cowman[/I] (1907) by Andy Adams.
