I really do enjoy a good book! Why don't you treat yourself to some good reading?
example: Google -> "book title" + "download"
We're very lucky to have the library come to us without leaving the room

Well,
if you already tell people this, one cannot, IMHO, omit
Project Gutenberg (and perhaps
8 tips and tricks to get the most of Project Gutenberg).
(And if you want to read
about Project Gutenberg, there’s a
Wikipedia entry about this ambitious volunteer project).

Most of those books do not look like old classic literature. Personally, if I am going to read I want a bound volume, not a download. I usually have a pile of 5 to 20 of them by my bedside table at any one time waiting to be read.

I think that image was just meant as an eye catcher.

Same here, and not just one pile

strategically placed in several places in the house, often also reading more than one book at the same time. Can’t imagine ever being bored.

If I did that my wife would be most upset: one pile is enough for her. But I don't usually have time to read at other times anyway. I do maintain a pile of magazines to be read in one of the smaller rooms in the house.
