       Here's #HowIRead 📚I have 3 #library cards in #Libby and max out the holds on each one at all times. This means I rarely pay for #books, even popular new releases #Audiobooks are listened to in app, #Ebooks are sent to my #Kindle. I borrow one of each My highlights are automatically synced to #Readwise, which puts highlights on my phone's home screen & makes them searchable I track my reads in #StoryGraph & buy my absolute favorites at local #bookstores for display at home@bookstodon

       @bookstodon My philosophy behind this approach is as follows1. I don't want to buy a book I might not like, and feel the pressure to complete it just because I spent money 2. Books are expensive, if I bought all the books I read & DNF I'd have no other leisure budget 3. Books take up space, it's nice only having one small collection of books to deal with when I move 4. Ebooks aren't 'owned', in the case that I lose my ebook collection it's no big deal cause I borrowed most of them

       @zamallama @bookstodon Try-before-buy is the same reason I pirate a lot of music, and also buy a lot of music.
