I would definitely encourage you to try digital libraries. I’m in the LA area and have access to both the LA county and LA city libraries, and between those two I have access to the vast majority of books I’m interested in. It’s easy to connect to a kindle as well; I use the Libby app which connects to those libraries, and I can send books that I check out to my kindle in one click. The main downside is that popular books sometimes have a wait time, sometimes for several months. This happens somewhat often, but not the majority of the time.
