One thing my kids understand: their parents have a strict budget for most everything ... except books.
I will buy any (age and morally appropriate) book they ask for. There is no family spending budget for books. Maybe 1/2 are e-books and 1/2 are physical. I'm guessing 10 new books a month? It adds up. They also supplement with library rentals and they give away the books that they have outgrown. So, we do try to keep the space reasonable, but lots of boxes of books around here.

For ebooks check out libgen.is and z-lib.org. You'll save hundreds. The pricing on ebooks is fucking absurd.
