I'm curious if this is something useful to other users of this site- here in Washington, DC the public library (http://www.dclibrary.org/dcpl/cwp/vi...6632&dcplNav=|) has many ebooks available for download in the Adobe format. Not a lot of selection and apparently only available to DC residents and, maybe MD and VA residents by reciprocity ( not clear--a difficult web site to navigate). But I've downloaded and read a couple of titles on my Sony PRS 505 with no problem. Do other public libraries have ebooks for download? And can residents of other jurisdictions access them?
