Nowadays I only read ebooks, I only ever read novels and I generally only want to read them once. I couldn't afford to buy everything I read and the libraries I download from are not the answer, that is why I have gone to the dark side.
I often think a more sensible model would be a subscription library, say for a small fee you could have one copy for say two weeks, I think it would keep everyone happy, if I buy a paper book I usually give it away after reading and it gets passed on and on. If say ten people end up reading it and they all contributed each would have to pay 10% of the purchace price, surely a subscription library would work the same.
