Patrons who loan a limited number of titles per year might find it more convenient and a better value to buy the same books online rather than loan them. The costs of visiting libraries in person, such as gas or public transportations and time, may be comparable or higher than those of cheap ebooks.

It depends on what you're looking for ... newer books will not be available as a 99 cent e-book, maybe you can find books that are in the public domain for this price.
