I treat the acquisition of books as a supply chain issue. First, I do not need to be the first in my neighborhood to read David Baldacci's [substitute your own preferred writer] latest novel. Just put the desired book on hold at the Overdrive libraries where you have a membership. As long as you own a later Kindle model beyond { Kindle 1- Kindle 2- Kindle DX- Kindle Keyboard- Kindle 4- Kindle Touch- Kindle 5- Kindle Paperwhite- Kindle 7- Kindle Voyage }. it is highly likely you can request that a borrowed (available) title be ported to a Kindle. Just select the title on your Amazon Content & Devices page, and it will be pushed to your Kindle/Fire reader. I can't think of anything simpler in life. Why throw away money on a purchased ebook, if you're not stressed by the waiting period? Save your money to purchase rare/htf books, or books that are heavily discounted. In the good old days people would wait for months to borrow a hardcover book from their public library. Why are people into instant gratification? Buying a hardcover makes sense until your home is overstuffed with heavy books. Buying just released ebooks is an expensive proposition since they have no residual value. Buy only if you need to read it asap, and no library has the ebook in their inventory.
