You can always look for what you want to find. If you look long enough for something worthwile to read, you will find. If all you do is look through your wishlist, and nothing pops up as you would have expected from others saying so, then you might wrongly assume nothing worthwile can be found at all.

Yes, I looked myself first and noted the lack of bestseller authors. Gave it some time and started looking at it the other way around - look what is there and if would be nice to read. And there is that for me - even seen that a lot of books already bought are part of KU.

Do the same with free library? Probably could do - except free is never free. I still pay for it. Imagine a library is not free, but has to be self sufficient. What would the cost be to the people using it if the only money comes from them?

I pay somewhere around 12 dollars a month in my water bill for my library--whether I use it or not. So, you are right. It isn't really free, but we pay for it in some bill or other.
