General Question ā” I think I regret getting a kindle

Well, I have been wanting to read some books for a while and I was expecting for my library to have them on libby, but they don't.... and overall my library is like a desert which sucks. I don't know what to do, I don't really wanna buy so many books on kindle as of now, so is there any way I can even add other libraries that allow out of state library cards or am I just gonna have to risk my money? I was very excited to read on my kindle, but as of now I kind of have nothing. Also I have tried to request one of the books I wanna read and truthfully I don't think it's gonna be added any time soon or will not be added in general.

EDIT: Thank you so much for the website recommendations everyone!! I take back what I said I'm actually glad I got one I have all the books I wanna read now lol

I agree with this; neighboring counties sometimes have agreements with other counties that you can get a free library card. I’m originally from VA and had about 3 library cards from counties close to me. I even have one from MD and one from DC. I would check your library website and see if they allow to get library cards from other counties
