I've seen some places repurpose old phone boxes as miniature community libraries. It used to be the convention when we visited California you put used free items on your kerb (maybe it is in other places). In rough areas people would just nick everything of course, or use your community phone library for dodgy stuff.
The only problem was there were at least 10 copies of Dan Brown's, The Da Vinci Code:."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

You can also use charity shops as DVD rentals.
Go in there, pay £1-2 for a DVD, watch it, take it back to them with their price still on it. You get to watch a film and donate to a charity, and they get it back to sell again
Cardiff Oxfam wanted £7 for "The Medusa Touch (1978)". It stayed where it was.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment

I have Amazon Prime because I'm too lazy to cancel it but have never really used it for the TV/Film offering.
I have a micro PC attached to my TV and use the BBC iPlayer desktop app regularly as that's the only one which auto downloads new episodes. I then use All4, Channel 5 and other free web based players for most viewing. As those don't offer a series link like BBC do, I end up binge watching every few weeks when I remember to catch up.
I like going to the cinema so will happily pay out for that every couple of months. I have a Curzon membership which gives me 5 free tickets a year plus discounted tickets the rest of the time.
Everything else is torrented.Comment

I think that applies to any book which is:
a) Very popular
b) Only read once
The problem is that anyone who wanted a copy has already read it, so there's no demand for second hand copies.Comment
