Libraries are actually an ebook subscription service. The fee is in the form of yearly property taxes. In return, we get unlimited access to their content.
Personally, I'd never pay for a private ebook subscription service. Between public libraries, public domain, and free book offers; I have more content than I could ever possibly read.
