The most prolific readers I know use the library almost exclusively. Real book a week people don't buy the books they read! They'd be broke!

A book a week? What am I going to do with the rest of my time?

185 books so far this year, no library card. e-books are a lot cheaper than physical books.

For me the biggest problem with libraries is the limited selection of books. As a kid, before e-readers were a thing, I was a member of 3 different libraries just to get access to enough new reading material. E-books are a blessing for those who like to read a lot.
