I didn't purchase, but borrowed them from Libby.

I look at the available copies, and check if the amount is "Unlimited". With publishers such as Duke Classics their books are available in unlimited amount and usually come without DRM. That's the sort of business model I'd like to support and have no issue borrowing. I think I borrowed a lot of Oscar Wilde books from Libby from them (The Picture of Dorian Gray, as an example). Although I do download a lot of free books, too.

If any of these criteria don't match and I can find the book on Gutenberg or standardebooks, I'm not borrowing.
