I do, do the read / return thing a lot because usually the library does not have the books I want b/c they are too new / lib doesn't carry them. And, I go through books so fast that it would get quite expensive if I kept all of the books I read. However, I do keep some (if they're worth their ticket price) and coming back and returning leads to my purchasing further things... some of which I keep.

So, either way, Barnes & Noble and Borders get their money. And if not from me, from selling the books again b/c I _always_ return them without bends or cracks or scuffs.
