Read them and buy them in physical form. Don't just feed the coffers of Amazon. I have read two backs in the last two days: Paul Laird's
"Birth and Impact of Britpop: Mis-Shapes, Scenesters and Insatiable Ones" in hardback and Sally Rooney's novel "Normal People" in paperback. I'm currently reading a book about female Scottish painters.
The article makes some good points about rekindling a love of reading, but in small spaces like mine it’s not just about motivation — it’s a logistical puzzle. When your bookshelf becomes a stack of teetering towers and you’re living in a rabbit hutch of an apartment, the next “reading goal” becomes “figure out how to store all these books.” Anyone else battling space constraints for your library at home?
Use your public library and/or read ebooks.
In the US, the Libby app is great for finding, borrowing, and reading ebooks from one or more public libraries.

As a riff on Parkinson's Law [1], "Book collections eventually expand to fill all available space."
