I use Dropbox, a company who added torture promoter Condoleezza Rice to their board of directors.
I use tech by IBM, even though that same company played a major role in the Holocaust.
I use a bank that punishes poor customers by requirering them to pay a special you-are-poor fee.
I use Wikipedia, even if it tries to hide other 9/11 conspiracy theories than the official one, and also buries IBM's role in the Holocaust in a sub-article.
I use Google, even if I hate survelliance.
There's plenty of things that I feel I should stay away from, but which I don't. Not reading certain books is one of the easier choices, so of course I drop Marion Zimmer Bradley, even though I have fond memories of The Color of Space from my youth.
It is harder with books that you already own. You don't want them, and in some way you don't want anyone else to read them, either.
