Yeah, I figured as much.  I always assumed that libraries would want just
about any book that wasn't torn up or in poor taste -- I think I got that
idea from working in a large library -- but the reality is that most of
them probably don't have the room to accept everything.

I am not too surprised. Between COVID, devices that spy on you, and
providers that can remove content on a whim, it is nice to have the real
thing.  I might be wrong, but I also find them easier on my older eyes than
trying to read off of the screen.
