>> You guys. What about libraries? 

Libraries - don't have those in the countryside... have to go to 
nearest town, ok only 8 miles away, but it does mean getting in a car.

My nearest library only lets you have books for a week - though they 
can be renewed over the phone.   I think a week is far too short a 
time... I recall that when I was a child, the local library (in 
London) used to let us have books for 2 weeks, or even longer 
depending on the type of book.

>I rent movies so I can see them before I buy them; 

I rent movies that I don't want to pay for in full.  I buy the good 
movies (from the US on import) before they come out in the cinema 
here.

>I borrow books so I can read them before I buy them.

I don't borrow books because getting to the library is a pain, and I 
forget to take the books back in time, so get charged for overdue 
books.
