I can't even count how many books I've rebought over the years because I read them to pieces. I'm on my like third entire set of my fave author's work.Plus, you can buy a song and listen to it over and over, but how often do you re-read a book? Buying a song is an investment that pays out many times. Buying a book is an investment that pays out once. A much different reality for consumers.
I know people who don't reread, and who don't rewatch movies, but there are plenty of us who read books over and over (or even just a couple of times - I browse my own books, find something I bought years ago, have only the vaguest recollection of, and reread) and over, same as watching the same movie 50x. It's just a preference thing, but rest assured there are people who reread books plenty.
At least with music there've only really been format transitions to buy.
