Do you buy rent or borrow? Or do you have a subscription of some kind? Do you read physical books or do you read ebooks?

I pirate shamelessly. Z-lib is my to-go.

I just realized, boy is it refreshing to actually talk about sites like z-lib without being censored. Library Genesis and Anna's Archive are also nifty.

Book Depository closed the other month, I don't know if Amazon understood how important it is for people outside US and EU, but the closure really pushed everyone I know to casually switch back to piracy.
