Yeah.

Everyone has their own place where they draw the line about piracy. It's definitely necessary that people find a way to financially support the authors whose work they like. But it's completely impossible and impractical for most people who are voracious readers to be buying most of the books that they read before their first read, especially for physical books where storing them is a huge logistical pain in the ass.

For a lot of people, that seems to mean Kindle Unlimited, these days. But a combination of library usage and occasional piracy seems utterly fine to me personally.

? You think there is only one anon doing book piracy here?

I haven't bought a book in maybe two years now and I read almost a book a week lol
I just read books from my mother's library (we now have a huge family collection of used books we got mostly for free) or from the public library.

Since I got no money, I choose to spend them only on books from indipendent bookstores. Usually non fiction books that talk about sociopolitical, economical or ecological issues, since my public library doesn't buy those.
Unfortunately books nowadays cost almost 20€ each and I got no money with inflation and job insecurity, so I can't buy much lately.

All the other books I read? I'm going to get them for free. And I'm lucky that my library is awesome so I don't have to resort to piracy.
If I had to buy all the books or comics I get from the public library I'd pay more than 500€ a year. NOPE.

You do you, anon! Just please try writing reviews or spreading the love of the books you can't buy.
I'd probably download pirated books too if I had no access to my library and had an ereader...

Authors may still get a small fee from library loans! At least in my country they do.
