Same here. I read a lot of library books. If I like a title enough, I'd buy it. Saves me dough on titles where I can't even stand finishing the first chapter. Pretty guilt-free, too. If I buy a book, I usually feel obligated to finish reading it just because I paid for it. If I borrow, if I can't stand the book, I'd just return it to the library right away and borrow something else and with ebooks, the entire process takes just a couple of minutes and you don't even need to find parking space.
