If you like to read a lot, you have several options. Here’s some:
Find a good local independent bookstore and buy a lot of books.
Buy a kindle and download everything from Amazon.
Live across the road from the Library
All of these achieve the same end result: Access to a lot of books to read. But you probably have a preference. Because how they get you there, and what it feels like, and what it means, is different.
It might be about status: Showing you are able to afford a large library; showing how well read you are; showing you support local business.
It might be about functionality: You travel often; you read multiple books at a time; you read a lot of out of print and reference books.
It might be about the aesthetic: You like the look and feel of real books; you hate clutter; you are in a particular profession and ‘should’ have a library.
