I don't read a lot of stuff, so Amazon makes a lot more sense.

I'm just outside of the city limits, so a library card would cost me $130 / year. I don't spend much more than that on books plus Amazon ships it to me, so it's less expensive in the end.

In middle and high school, I lived just outside the curiously squiggly border of the nearest library, and they didn't offer a card at any price. I don't think I'm alone in that. Amazon would have been amazing.
