I’ve found your blog via Google and I’m really happy about the information you provide in your posts. Btw your sites layout is really broken on the Kmelon browser. Would be great if you could fix that. Anyhow keep up the great work!

And it’s only fair. Because my local public library has been renting DVDs by the bucketload and has recently started lending video games, too. They are competing with private businesses using public tax money while neglecting their book collections. I have to buy most of the books I want — even many bestsellers — to read because the library doesn’t get them.

So, if I could borrow the books I actually want to read, I would pay for it. Digital formats eliminate the biggest hurdle, which would be the shipping costs.
