I jut put the books on hold then forget about them. I'm 41st out of 48 for Nicholas Sparks' Safe Haven and 22nd out of 45 for Ken Follet's Fall of Giants. I won't be getting either of these any time soon. This is the Philadelphia Free Library which has a $15 pa annual fee for non residents so it VERY overloaded. But my local library doesn't offer ebooks so beggars can't be choosers - I just put up with it.

But I like drawll's idea of a subscription service - or something like the local video store where you rent for a week.
