My biggest problem is that there are a lot of books on my TBR that I don't own, and my library may have the physical book, but it's easier for me to read an ebook (my library's ebook selection is dismal). I will probably stick to a shelf-love kind of thing in an effort to read books I own (which I usually fail at).
