We both like the feel of paper... of turning pages...
We buy books when they are new... often on the day they are published so they aren't free. We usually pay from $17 to $20 for most of the books... and as many people as we want can read them.
Sure, I can get Steinbacks "Grapes of Wrath" free but if it was any good I read it 50 years ago. (and did)... I was excited about ebooks until I took a good look...
Growing up, we were economically challenged (like that?) but everyone in town gave my mother their used books... we read them all. Eventully those books were the seed of a public library.
Janet and I gave the local library our books... but they just saved them for next years book sale. That's a year when others could be reading them... we see too it that they are used as much as possible.
We have had a lot of TC friends trade books with us when we are on the road... TC folks are good about sharing... ad many are readers.
And the covers are pretty...
