This is what I do. There is no book that I need to buy. There is no publisher I need to buy from. In addition, since agency and the rise of the price of e-books from publishers, I have searched for and found many great books from "indies" and others that are really inexpensive or even free. I have even started to reread the classics, and most of them are free. In addition, if you pay attention, there are many free books you can get from say, Amazon, B&N, and others that can just be downloaded. I already have enough books in my library to keep me going for years.
