For example, if I wanted to read a relatively newly-published book, like John Grisham's The Confession, it doesn't show up at any of the libraries within 100 miles of my zip, nor does it show up in the Philly library. Am I missing something?

Not all books are available in ebook format. Sometimes the publishers delay the availability.
Also, not all librarys buy all books.
Also, regardless of how many libraries are within 100 miles of you.....you will still need to be a resident of that county or library consortium, in order to qualify for membership.
