I read mostly eBooks now. In the past I switched back and forth between primarily reading paper vs. primarily reading eBooks. Right now, it's eBooks. And I rarely buy them. I'm finding that I can get what I need from my libraries via Overdrive. I said "libraries" because I am lucky enough to have multiple ones in my area that let me join. Seven, as a matter of fact. That's a lot more than most people have access too.
Anyway, with that amount of choice, I can easily find something to read via Overdrive. So eBooks have re-introduced me to libraries, which I seldom used in the past due to the "drive over there to borrow, and drive over again to return" hassle. But online access to libraries for eBooks is just so convenient now, I can't ignore them. Might as well get something back for all my taxpayer money that goes to support libraries. Free borrowing is good!
Due to the recent Amazon deal where you can get Kindle Unlimited for 99 cents for 3 months, I'm starting into the Chess Team series by Jeremy Robinson via the KU route. We'll see if I can finish the books in my three month deal. Of course, Amazon leaves out one book of the series from KU, so I went ahead and bought that one so I could read the entire series in order. I guess that's how Amazon hooks you in for purchases ... make most of a series available via KU, but leave a few books out so you have to purchase them instead. I guess that's brilliant marketing from the sellers viewpoint, but it sucks from the consumers standpoint.
