  • Buy the physical book and borrow an electronic version from a distant acquaintance on the Internet

    This is probably the current correct answer. But it does beget the question of what to do with the physical book. I don't want it. Maybe leave it on a wall outside the shop? With a sticker in the frontispiece, marketing my great new digibook/ bookstore collab startup...

    Donate it to a local charity shop. Treble win.

    Or, just reverse shoplift it (e.g. put it back on the shelves after you've bought it).

  • Feels a bit like buying a bottle of water at an airport where the cheapest option was to buy a copy of the Daily Telegraph, which came with a free bottle of water and was less than the water on its own, and putting the newspaper back in the pile.
