A couple notes:

In Around the World in Eighty Days, Phileas Fogg travels by train, elephant, ship and even a wind-powered sledge (ice boat), but never sets foot in a hot air balloon as featured on numerous modern covers.

Patrizia — It is possible to borrow ebooks. There are library services such as Libby and if you have Kindle Unlimited, that works the same as a library in that you borrow books instead of purchasing them. Some devices also allow you to borrow books from friends (I know Nook has a lending feature with some books). I would also count a book read on something like Project Gutenberg as borrowing.
