Libraries are nice,for books you'll only read once. But, I'm an annotator and rereader, so I buy used, or sometimes new.I have a pretty big library of my own. And not enough space for all my books. I tried audiobooks once; I din't like it, so never tried again. I used to have books on my iPad, but have since switched to Samsung, so... those are now gone. 😢

But, whatever way you read is the best way. Audiobooks, kindle, kobo, iPad, or paper & ink. If cost is an issue, borrowing from a lib'ary is least expensive. Good reading.
