Seriously, this is devastating news for me. I know it's irrational but I'll never borrow again. I guess it's time to invest in a Kindle and a good shrink.

You can borrow books that are sewn - no metal staples, etc.

Have a collection of ziploc bags. Put each book you borrow into a bag before taking it home.

Run them through the microwave for a minute or two.

A year ago, I’d have fully supported your Kindle choice, but the book prices for the Kindle are getting ridiculous. I’m slowly going back to pulp when the book I want is cheaper that way than the eBook.

GOOD NEWS! Check your online local library. At many of them, including mine, you can borrow Kindle books online. No charge. You have about three weeks to read the book. I've been doing this for the past month.
