Many libraries (including San Francisco, where I am a member) even offer e-books and audiobooks. I switched to reading almost exclusively on my kindle, but I still get the vast majority of books for free from the library.

My wife's father has been checking out audiobooks from the library to keep his mind sharp even though his eyesight isn't what it used to be.

I’d like to reiterate your last point.

Many libraries loan out ebooks!!! It’s very convenient and free.
