You know this already, but just a kind reminder that you didn't get them for free. You paid for the library with your tax dollars, and continue to do so. Which means you are absolutely right to utilize this!
I make this statement to remind others that libraries are public goods that you pay for and should utilize. This sends a market signal. This matters!
- unethical_ban 4y agoThis. Reminder: Legal lending from libraries has artificial restrictions on how many digital copies can be "checked out" at a time, and libraries are paying for the privilege of lending out books. I don't know the details or if those lending privileges are perpetual the same way a physical copy would be, but that's what's happening. If you are viewing books legally, someone somewhere is getting money. Who gets what is another question (Kindle unlimited, for example.)
