They're amazingly responsive, and have added every book I've ever suggested within 1 week (around 10 altogether).

I also read current fiction best sellers. Some books I could not find via my local branch site (the latest Sookie Stackhouse book). One author I looked for (MaryJanice Davidson) did not show up at all. Maybe it's just my branch, so I'll check others to see if I have better luck.

Also, if you can access LA county library, you're probably close to an LA Public Library branch. That library recently converted to epub and overs over 6,000 titles in epub, pdf, and some mobi. You may want to check it out to see if they have more offerings that meet your need. Due to recent cuts, though, LA public has become less responsive to suggestions.

I've only been able to access NetLibrary which wasn't any better. If I'm looking in the wrong place, please let me know. I still have an L.A. Public Library Card even though I don't technically live in any of the incorporated cities anymore.
Thanks for the info.
