I actually use the library more than I did before I bought an e-reader. Sometimes it's because the book isn't available as an e-book, but also I use it when a publisher ticks me off. Recently, a SF series by L.E. Modesitt was recommended in some thread here on Mobileread. When I checked at Amazon, I saw the series was available. The first book was about $8, reasonable enough, but the next two were $14.99, even though the second was available in a mass market paperback at about 6 or 7 bucks. I ended up ordering them all at the library.
