@gerrymcgovern All I can think of in response is to encourage everyone to check out books from your local public library. Or buy from a bookstore. Even better, buy from an independently owned used bookstore if that’s possible in your area. Read a book with actual pages that won’t need recharging or be made obsolete.

@coleenwalter and if you like ebooks or e-audiobooks those are also available from your local library. electronic books benefit libraries because they take up no space, do not have to be physically handled or shuttled between branches, are never overdue or lost, and people like them. Libraries love giving people what they want.
