What I'm wondering is why everyone, online atleast, seems to buy every single book they read. I have never seen someone online reading a library copy of a book. Is the supply of books bad in the american library or is it just the online creators that buy all their books and the "normal" people borrow from the library? I'm wondering because it's a lot cheaper to just borrow from the library, and if you dislike a book you can just return it to the library instead of paying money for it and then letting it gather dust. What are the benefits of buying every book you read, according to you who do it?
