True.

I used to make 4-6 trips to the bookstore each year. Each time, I would spend between $100 and $150. I no longer do that, and now before I buy a book, I first check to see if it is available as an ebook at the library. From there, it is only one click to get on the reservation list for the pbook at my library. So unless I feel strongly about supporting the author, I don't purchase the book.

Spoiler:
Unfortunately, by opening up space that used to be used for books, I guess I unconsciously decided to fill it with yarn. I have 3 bookcases full of unread books (mysteries), and 3 bookcases full of yarn.
