“That book Ducks sure looks swell - but do I really want to spend $35 to read it?!?!”
Do what I did and use that local library you are already paying for, via those property taxes, and borrow that book for FREE.
Head to: https://libbyapp.com/ and get started!
You can get books and magazines - on your computer, phone, tablet, Kobo reader (sorry to Kindles…)
Listen to audiobooks too! Works great on your phone.
Some titles you might have to wait for but there’s lots available on there with unlimited copies.
