When I first was shopping for an e-reader, I thought being able to read ebooks checked out online from public libraries was very important. But the more I found out about these ebooks the less important it became. The number of ebooks most public libraries have is relatively small and there are waiting lists of people wanting them.
For me this is no longer an important issue. I do like to check out audio books, and there is a much larger selection of of these books available.
If libraries took ebooks more seriously, then it could become important. I dont like DRM anyway and try to stay away from it.
