I do both. Not a huge process of deciding really. I mostly borrow ebooks from the library to read on my Kindle but I do check out physical books too, depending on what is convenient and/or available. I also buy books regularly. We have a decent sized library (we both worked for B&N in the past, I worked in a used book warehouse, he's now a librarian) Guess it depends on if I'm fairly certain I'll want to own it eventually (authors I'm familiar with, classics, etc) or if it's an impulse read (I've read a lot of the "Duke Classics" epub ebooks from the library lately, but I'd like to buy them eventually because I loved them) Many books I wanted to read this last year the library didn't have. In a couple cases I requested them, and they got them for me. In a couple cases I just jumped on Alibris and bought the book. I follow r/ebookdeals and buy those sometimes. There's a great used bookstore here in town I keep meaning to get to and go browse and see what I can turn up. I have a lot of comics on my pull list, which I read ongoing rather than wait for the collected edition/graphic novel, but sometimes I read those through Marvel Unlimited or Hoopla or something digitally too. So I do a little bit of everything. I just like to read a whole lot! I don't have a specific process for deciding how, I just end up doing it.

>You've got people in charge of these companies who look at their assets (including century-long reputations) and see a bunch of junk that should be turned into cash, rather than a business that accomplishes a service or provides goods and pays well those who do it.

Yes! I feel like this goes for just about every industry these days and it's frustrating.

It is just too bad they didn't turn it around sooner. My husband left after being there over a decade, as head of a department, about a year or so before the surprise firing of most of their full time employees who weren't management that's mentioned in this article. He ended up at the library, which is also where a couple of coworkers landed. B&N lost a whole lot of incredibly knowledgeable career booksellers who were passionate about the job with that decision to just fire them all. Not employees who were there for a random retail job, a lot of those full timers were the "true believers" Decades of industry experience just gone. Glad they're turning it around but that's all I can think about all that. I worked there way back in 2001-2003 but that was an entirely different sort of retail environment.

Haven't seen the newer one, but the Hitchcock version changes >!Rebecca's death from being shot by Maxim to it being an accident. Apparently this was because of the Hays code, and the murder of a spouse couldn't go unpunished like he does in the book !<
