I agree with you about the tracking/monetization problem.

My first comment was just about cost and (spatial/temporal) availability, in response to the parent.

Depends on where you live, really.

The main city library is like a 10 minute walk -- though I don't like to walk so I ride my bike when I want to go up there. Costs me zero dollars to get there and library cards are free for everyone in the county.

Admittedly...I chose to live not in the suburbs so pretty much everything I need is a bike ride away.
