Do you buy rent or borrow? Or do you have a subscription of some kind? Do you read physical books or do you read ebooks?

I pirate shamelessly. Z-lib is my to-go.
I just realized, boy is it refreshing to actually talk about sites like z-lib without being censored. Library Genesis and Anna’s Archive are also nifty.
Book Depository closed the other month, I don’t know if Amazon understood how important it is for people outside US and EU, but the closure really pushed everyone I know to casually switch back to piracy.
What? The website looks the same to me?
Where are you looking
It feels so good to finally say this outright. Arrr!
I buy books only when I really love the edition. Otherwise, I’ll buy some on kindle and rent others through my local library, or Libby. I only buy physical copies of books I am happy to re-read.
I buy my books from either ebooks or Amazon, then load them on my kindle which I carry everywhere. It’s an old paper white that usually fits into the pocket of whatever jacket I’m wearing.
I like physical books too but I really don’t have the space to be stacking up. I also read a lot in public and don’t like for people to always know what I’m reading lol. Nothing sketch, I’m just a private person.
Mostly borrow ebooks from the public library. There is a small new-and-used bookstore near me, one of those classic “open 3 hours a day, more if we feel like it” ones. Very fun to go wander the shelves when I want a physical book.
I use the Libby app and check out ebooks from my local library usually. I have a bunch of physical books as well, but I am out of room to put them now. I also find ebooks to be more convenient. I can read whenever I want because I have all the books I’m reading on my phone.
