[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 11 active library cards. It's not technically breaking any rules . . . these are all localities that give a card to any Virginia resident or which have reciprocity where I live. So I have 78 e-books checked out right now, which is obviously more than I can possibly read. I feel kind of bad about bogarting so many books, and I try to return ones that have a wait list after me if I know I won't pick it up any time soon, but ultimately I am a book hog.

I just enjoy searching for books that I might want to read and collecting them, all for free. It's fun. Sometimes I'll read 20% of a book and think I'll finish it, but I pick up something else and never get back to the old one. I could be more deliberate about deciding I'm through with a book and returning it straight away. But also . . . libraries are there to be used. They're a public good. Instead of going to the library and reading two chapters before heading to check out, I do it this way.[/quote]

This is interesting. I didn't know there were wait lists for e-books at all. Do your e-books get overdue? Do they just remove the access to you when that happens and you have to check it out again? Do you also just add things to your netflix watchlist and never watch? [/quote]
