I’ve repurchased very many physical books. Sometimes it was because they were read so often that they started falling apart. Sometimes it was because they were so good that I wanted copies on hand to give out to people. Sometimes it was because I lent out my only copy and it was never returned.
I’ve also bought many ebooks even if I already own the physical book. It’s more convenient to read, easier to take notes, and I can resize the text as needed. I’ve bought ebooks for which I have the audiobook, and vice versa. I’ll still buy physical books if it’s an art book or a special edition, but even then I don’t mind it. I think I have four different copies of Wicked, and I would have a hard time estimating the number of Tolkiens I’ve been through.
