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 And you really don't have to be a resident?

@CatEyeJayne Correct! I live in London.

But note that non-residents like me have to pay $50 for the card. I didn't have that info in my original post; I edited it to add it in; and apparently the edit doesn't propogate to servers that don't allow editing.
