I usually don't even bother putting on hold a brand-new popular book that has 50 or 100 holds right out of the gate. I just put those on my wish list for later. I usually don't put anything on hold unless it has no more than maybe 10 people in line.
In the unlikely event that there were a brand-new hot book that I desperately wanted to read right away I would buy it.

At my library, they also have a rental program for physical copies of really hot books. I'm surprised at how soon books show up available on the rental shelves. I think I've only used it once, since I'd rather wait for the ebook.
Not that there are many "hot" books I'm really interested in reading.
