@kel @analogfusion I can see the good sense in this, but I also struggle with it as a consumer. I know it's much better for the artists as well to buy directly--I would still probably be a digital purchaser because I find physical media both harder to access and less convenient--but that's infinitely more expensive, and I don't know how to merry those two facts. I try to buy my very favorites, when I find something meaningful, but I love so much it becomes difficult, monetarily.

@FrostPoem @kel There are always cases where buying the physical media may be impractical for some people.

I agree 💯

One possible answer is small local communities of people who like similar things buying and sharing, like a library!

...but you are right!

@kel @analogfusion Oh that's a lovely idea. I wonder how that could be managed.

@FrostPoem @analogfusion

I mean, your local actual library may be a good place to start 😊

@kel @analogfusion Oh yes! I do that whenever possible, as well. Less for music, though--no way to digitally do that as far as I'm aware. And I do set aside a little money to buy one book a month, too.

Cool!

I promised myself I would join the library this year, still not done it yet.

Thank you for the reminder.

@kel @analogfusion I hope you enjoy, when you do! It's a lovely place! I have fonder memories from it in childhood, when I needed to go directly to pick up audiobooks, but they're still the most amazing places, even if you only comb the shelves digitally.

Thanks - I will I am sure!

Happy to bring back some nice childhood memories too!
