I have been using electronic books much less lately. I have come to the conclusion that it is nice to read a real book that when you are done with you can give to a friend to read.
Or sell the books you are done with.
It is also a shame that the e-book industry seemed to try their hardest to make getting an e-book from the library on your reader nearly impossible or outright super confusing.
- sigwinch28 6y agoI use a Rakuten Kobo and - luckily - my local library's books are accessible via a service called OverDrive. It's the predatory practices of the publishing industry that stop us from giving our ebooks to a friend to read: DRM stops us from sharing what we have purchased, and in many jurisdictions it is illegal to circumvent.

Well I lost my entire collection because I moved abroad, and many of the books I love aren't available here. I just resorted to piracy. I never struggled to use an e-book again.
