As for the queues for books, I don't know how long they are for physical books but I'd guess they are no worse. And, ebooks don't get stolen or "mis-laid" by patrons. I find with 2 or 3 things in the queue all the time I never run out of library material.
With my ADE and Overdrive from my library, I can return it on my computer and ADE will call it expired, but it does NOT change the library's counter that says it's mine for x more days. It is not really returned, just removed from my library.
I never turned on Wifi or registered my husband's Nook because I did not want to give our credit card to B & N for the honor of browsing there and his library books remain active on the Nook unil I remove them. I guess that would change if I registered and set the time for him.
