Why do we need "subscription based" libraries when we have plain, old, free libraries?
I have a very limited experience with libraries. The concerns I had in mind:
1. Currently popular books were never available in the library. When the new Harry Potter came out, there was no way I could have got my hands on it.
2. In my place of residence, Hungary, there doesn't seem to be a way to borrow ebooks. Kindle Unlimited is also unavailable.
