I don't. I remember all the books I borrowed from friends as a teenager, all my time as a starving college student when someone gave me the book they were done reading, and I think I have an obligation to pay that forward--to share the books I buy, now that I'm the one with disposable income.
I grew up on secondhand books. I don't buy as many ebooks as I could because I can't share them; it feels very selfish to buy a book that I'm just going to throw away when I'm done.
Library books, however... if I borrowed it from a legit source, so can someone else. I don't feel like I'm being wasteful by not sharing it; someone else is taking care of that part for me.
