Also a Safari Books subscription is free through some libraries.

Personally, I haven't completely cut the chord on subscriptions like HBO or Netflix, etc. but you may have given me some inspiration to give it a go. Overall, I'm trying to reduce my screen/media time.

With HBO (and Netflix before it) I got to the point where I would spend 20 minutes scrolling (when I should be sleeping...) and not find anything worth watching. I don't need to pay $20 a month for that!

Like 200 channels on the TV and there's nothing good on. Somehow that's less of an issue with physical media. Did anybody ever go to blockbuster, browse for 20 minutes and then declare they don't have any good movies?
