this is also why i started buying physical books and using my local public library again.

My local library allows borrowing ebooks. It's incredibly useful. I own two kindles and haven't spent a dime at Amazon for ebooks. I do buy physical books now and then from there, but only if I really need it and can't find elsewhere.

How do you return a borrowed ebook..?

[–] Paranoidfactoid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

It expires after two weeks. You can extend, just like borrowing a physical copy. Or return early, in which case it expires upon return.
