Thanks for the info everyone.
I looked up the link that Rougefan99 gave to the Overdrive site and found that the nearest library to me was the Hills Shire one which is about a 25 min drive.
The only problem with joining is you have to physically go there and show ID so I don't know if they can cater for interstate or overseas people.
Anyway, I have now joined and borrowed my first ebook via ADE which seemed to have a couple of glitches but eventually worked ok.
They seem to have a fair range of ebooks but only one copy available so you may have to get on the waitlist for a book you want.

I contacted the other two local libraries which I am a member and they both said that they were "thinking" about ebooks but were not yet going ahead with them.

Cheers
