I usually use Libby for most of my books, unless I’m in the middle of a series and have to have the book now.
I don’t read a ton of physical books. I kind of like getting physical books as “collectors items”, if I really like a book I’ll try to find a nice hard cover copy of it.
Honestly this will probably be my pattern until the API changes and I can’t use RIF anymore, then I guess I’ll just skip steps 2 and 3 haha
