Anything like NETFLIX for books? (No, I don't mean a library.)
Advertisements [?]
Late fees at my local library are exorbitant and it has a lousy, lousy selection. I always forget to bring books back on time and end up with $15 late fees. That's a helluva lot, in my opinion...oy!

Since I still don't want cable (too expensive and no real choices), I've been thinking of trying Netflix. Costs to mail books back and forth would be a bit higher, but I'd be assured of no late fees.

One other thing: I can't stand to read books on a computer screen. It's less intimate than snuggling into a chair or bed, plus it dries out my eyes and makes my herniated discs throb. I've found that when I spend too much time on DU, I pay for it!
