ernietd,
I don't have an e device yet either but have been reading ebooks from an east TN library for about a year. I also have problems with small fonts so I finally bought a 22 inch LCD screen on sale ($269) so that I could see more easily. My library uses the Adobe drm'ed expiring format. It is easy to set up and although the library told me to use Adobe 7.0, the books work fine with the 8.1 Adobe Digital Editions. After the book expires, (or if you send it back or delete it as the software says), you still have to manually go to My Digital Editions folder on your computer and delete the book yourself other wise it just takes up disk space. Don't expect your librarian to know much about Adobe and even the TN administrator didn't seem to know much about questions that I had. My library primarily has best sellers, romance novels and a small mixture of sfi/fantsay novels. Sometime I have even been able to read a novel before it was available at Amazon in hardcover (amazingly). I would recommend this as a way to read e books but like the other posters, don't know of a device that you could read the library ebooks on. Hope this helps a little. I'm still deciding on a ebook reader my self!
