Buy physical books now. Great ones, good ones, bad ones, ones you happen to like. Store them safely as you would treasures. They are. Some will become unavailable soon, I suspect, for reasons that may not be stated candidly. If I’m wrong, what have you lost?

We, the library

I've been thinking the same thing. I figure it'll happen before too long...

Worse yet, they wouldn't have to shut down the whole site. Just the books and music parts.

It would probably improve their bottom line, to boot.
