I belong to two reading clubs. Many of these groups are library-sponsored which means they rely on having multiple copies available for members to check out, which in turn means many of the books are not current novels, but maybe a year or two old or more. Many of these also fit into the crack between eBook digital editions and out-of-copyright freebies. So...
I begin by searching for an eBook version. Failing that, I head for the library for a free check-out. I still buy from my only local bookstore and online if its a book I think I might wish to keep. But my usual procedure is to read it first as a free book (classic or library check-out) and then decide if I want a hard copy for the shelf. I've given away hundreds of pBooks to local libraries in recent years.
