Most people don't realize this, but libraries are actually very bad for writers. Books are often lent out dozens of times, with no new revenue for the writers.

Most people don't realize this, but libraries are actually very bad for writers. Books are often lent out dozens of times, with no new revenue for the writers. Why is that bad? Writers need to make money on every single sale. If they can't, books will have to get longer and longer, to make it harder to finish reading them during a library checkout interval. A lot of those problems go away if you just buy everything you're going to read directly from the kindle store.
