I'm using the library a lot. I just checked out Ken Follett's Fall of Giants and hope to get it read in the 21 day checkout time.
Also have a neighbor who reads a lot of the same SF and Fantasy that I do and he passes on the book to me after he's done. Neighbor is not interested in ebooks so I benefit from his purchases. Right now he's reading Towers of Midnight and when I get it I'll scan it and read it on my Kindle.
The publisher and author get a little from my library checkout but zero from the hand me down book. As long as popular fiction is more than $5.00 for the electronic version I won't be buying. My financial priorities are to pay off my mortgage, save for the kids' college tuition, and save for retirement. Not pay $$ for books that can be had for far less if one is willing to format shift for personal use.
