Funny, I do the opposite. When I find a book on Amazon, I'll see if it's at my local library and if not put in a request to have it shipped from another library in the same system (in my case, that system covers a number of nearby cities and towns). If I can't get it for free from the library then I'll consider ordering it from Amazon. Another advantage of the library is you don't accumulate more and more books over time, unlike if you buy them.
