PRO TIP: The Queens Library in New York will let anybody anywhere in the world get an e-library card, which you can then use to check out books directly to your device (including Kindles.)

Getting a Queens Library card was probably my single best financial decision in 2022.

EDITED TO ADD: It costs $50.

EDITED AGAIN: You may need to set up an account on Amazon.com for kindle reading.

@jacobsw Do you find that you have to wait quite a while for reservations? Or is it just me?

@daniel Yeah, there's a wait list for many (although not all) books. I just put holds on a bunch of things and then I'm reading them as they come in. I find that as I'm finishing one book, the next one generally becomes available, so I'm never without something to read (although I can't necessarily control the order I'm reading in.)
