(2.5 hours later...) Nope. Those were audiobooks. I remember now, that's the problem with my local library's OverDrive collection. The vast majority is audiobooks. If I search just for ePub, there are only
four books by Koontz, and two of them are books #3 and #4 in the Frankenstein series. (Notice #1 and #2 are absent.)
By Terry Pratchett, there is book #33 of the Discworld series (no others). There are only three books by Stephen King. One book by Neal Stephenson (Snowcrash). One by Kurt Vonnegeut.
There is nothing by Douglas Adams, Oscar Wilde, Orson Scott Card, Robert Louis Stevenson, Philip Pullman, Isaac Asimov, Robert Heinlein, J.R.R. Tolkien, Anne McCaffrey, Larry Niven, Madeleine L'Engle... (you can see what genres I'm after, eh?)
Philadelphia appears to have the whole Discworld series (Pratchett) and the whole Golden Compass series (Pullman), both things I want to read, so it's worth the $15 right there. Has some stuff by most of those other authors too.
Part of the problem, I guess, is that I'm not just looking for Oprah's book of the month. They seem to have plenty of those locally.
