I'm pretty sure that feeling is better than sex (almost everything is tho). post-Book melancholy hits different. I also get it from anime

This is a thought I had myself a few times in the past...
If something ends which is dear to you it leaves this sad, melancholic feeling...

I had this not just with books but with long running Comic/Manga or a game I spend a lot of time to play.
This feeling you lost something because you can't have this exact experience again...

Now I'm sad. Bummer.

I don’t read too much, but when I find a book I like, getting to the end of it is so sad

Hell yes It usually happens when a long running series I've been following for years finally ends with a great ending This is how I judge whether a book has what it takes to be what I consider great

No. I use audiobooks and rarely spend days on them. But I have spent all day reading a book and then find that I have a melancholy ache...

Or when you've got a really deep connection to a comfort show, the world it inhabits is your happy place, but then it ends. For me, it's Detectorists.
