I read ENTIRE books for free and then put them back for sale.
What I did was thieft and I knew it, I just claimed poverty as an excuse.
Oh, and if I'm buying the newest release, I'm getting one off the middle of the stack!The library is the obvious answer and yes, it forces you to wait, and if there's one thing people can't stand in this brave new world it's being out of the loop.
I don't know what the solution is, but I do know that if you're opening that book and turning every page, that book is not new anymore.
You may or may not have stolen it, but they can't sell it as new.
Not to me.

I hate when yer chugging along on yer latest used book, turn a page, and BLAM, big old BLOODSTAIN--well, It could be chocolate milk, or wine, or something--all the same, I utilize extreme caution when touching such pages, and long ago gave up the habit of 'licking my fingers' in order to ease page flipping.
This is absolutely NOT theft!
I was in a convenience store one time, and saw the newspaper headline. I picked up the paper and scanned the story, only to be told by the attendant that technically, I was committing theft. She would not believe me when I assured her I was not.
I was in FULL POLICE UNIFORM at the time. You can't fix stupid.
