I would love to have the money to buy every ebook I read, but unfortunately that's not the case. I buy what I can afford, and check out the rest from the library.

And I have 2 reasons for not sticking to DTBs when checking books out from the library. The first is that the nearest library to where I live (that I can borrow from) is about 65 miles away, so a trip to the library takes several hours and costs $10-15 just for gas. Ebooks can be checked out without leaving my home. The second reason is that I actually prefer reading ebooks to DTBs.
