Most public libraries have a very extensive collection of ebooks that can be borrowed.
Though I greatly prefer physical books. The sole exception is technical things that then let me search for what I need
I love physical books, but i prefer to buy them only when i know i will love them. So, books that i don't know at all, would accumulate quickly and take up unnecessary space if it turns out i don't even like it that much. Good point about the library, thanks!
I get it, also there's some convenience with readers when you're in a place you'll read... alot... but, yeah. I'd certainly go broke if my reading list was satisfied with buying them, instead of visiting the library.
I used to only read physical books and couldn't even consider reading ebooks. Then I ran out of space in my book case and was forced to start reading ebooks. Now I have my whole book collection on my phone (and backed up on my hard drive and gdrive).
