If I'm gonna have to pay €1,20 a book to only just read them once, I'd rather just buy them (hello lovely Kobo discount codes).
You can borrow all ebooks for free, for about two months. After that, you'll have to pay €20. Then you are allowed to read 18 ebooks that are not yet three years old.

As far as I understand, if you want to read ebook versions of books that were published longer than three years ago, you can read them using your normal library card.

€20/18 books = €1.11/book. Using Kobo codes, I can often buy books under €2. (Especially if I pay in dollars.) If the price difference between buying and borrowing is less than €1, I'd rather buy them.
