The true benefit of checking out e-books from the library...

Some people would probably say that the true benefit of checking out e-books from the library versus real books is that you get them right away, or if a hold comes in, you don't have to go down to the library to pick it up.

But really, the true perk of checking out e-books is that you don't have the temptation of the library book sale section. Sure you may only spend $5 on the five books you get, but these deals are much harder to resist. But then, I did find Year of Wonders, and unread copies of Practical Magic and The Surgeon (which I had already picked up used, but paid as much for that one book in poorer condition as the five I got today), so shouldn't complain too much.
