Another possible approach is to have the state provide ebook services, instead of individual libraries. That way, they could provide a larger selection. Additionally, they might also have two levels: a basic one available free for all residents of the state, and a premium level for a fee that could offer an even larger selection and a minimal or no wait list for popular books.
Meanwhile, King County specifically prohibits Seattle residents from accessing their Overdrive books
as part of a longterm "imbalance" issue (KCLS patrons can access Seattle's offerings).
