Do you BUY or DOWNLOAD your manga?
Do you buy the manga or just read them in the internet and if you do buy them why? , and if you download them why?
I buy my manga because I like having the book available whenever I want it and wherever I am and I dont like bootleging I dont know what word to use but I dont like to steal from the authors so I buy the book

I also perfer to buy the manga also. I don't like download cause I don't have it in my hand. there is just something about having the manga in my hand, that nastagic feeling, that I get when I read a manga. but I might download a translated scan of a manga that is not in the states like Mai-Hime i bought the mangas about a week ago and i'm looking for translated scans so that I can read and understand the story more
Buy =_='

It depends actually. If the downloads are up, I simply download them. If they are published by a translator in the USA, I buy them. Imported RAW manga books in Japanese would also count in my case. Like One Piece and Naruto books for example.
I have over than 700 volumes. I download mangas only if italian editors have not translate them yet.
For example I red "Pretty face" from internet, because it is not still printed here. Or else "Guru Guru" because editors stopped the italian edition on 7th volume, and I absloutely wanted to read the final of the serie...

If it's released here, I buy it or borrow it, with the exception of Tengou Tenge. I see no sense in paying money for edited content, so I feel content in joining in the boycott of the series. One should not be altering the original content simply to gain access to a larger market base.
I also buy rather than download. Like angelicdemon, I like actually holding manga when I read it. I also don't have to scroll down to get to the bottom part of the page when holding it. I actually downloaded and read the first 8 volumes of Love Hina so many years ago, but later found I preferred holding the things. So I've bought them ever since. When I downloaded things, I tended to not actually read much of them.
I buy volumes that are translated by American publishers and download the ones that are not.
I download mangas. I don't have money to buy manga. Sometimes I borrow a friend's manga. . . Maybe someday I'll buy manga that I really want . . . when I get paid of course.
I download for a couple of reasons.
First of all, I really don't have much money, and none at all to spend on manga. Sad, I know.
Secondly, I'm not sure my parents would exactly approve of everything in the mangas, and it's much easier to keep it on the low-down when I only have manga on my computer. It doesn't raise any eyebrows.

To be honest I buy and dl. If I like it then I see no reason why I shouldn't buy it.
I download and buy. mostly cuz im too impatient to wait for the hardcopies i.e. xxxholic, tsubasa, naruto, bleach, amg, canon god exxaion. however once the tankubon comes out i buy it.
I download and borrow mangas from friends. I do not have money to buy any. My parents would definately not let me buy any either. I guess i'm saying the same thing as "$toran." Anyway, I do agree that it seems much better to read a manga while holding it in your hands.
I dont understand why so many people have parents that dont want them to buy mangas or dont want them to see them my mom doesnt like that I buy the manga but does she tell me not no and if she did id stilll buy them I have about 200 and my mom doesnt like them but i still buy them because its what I like
That's the addittude with a lot of parents I think, my parent don't like me buying that stuff. But they don't really do anythings, since they have come to the conclusion that I'll never grow up *rolleyes*.
On topic, I usually read the manga online first to see if I like it or not. If I do, then I'll start buying it and read them that way. Waiting can drive me nuts, but I like the feeling of reading it on my hands after waiting for it for a period of time. If it's not released over here then I just download and read them as it goes along.
But series like "Pastel" really drives me nuts, I read up to vol 11 already and they have just released vol 2 over here. Gonna take 2 years for it to catch up, in that case I usually just buy the books for the sake of having it and read the translation as it's being released.
