Anyway, they rent the readers but not the eBooks? That seems a little ridiculus. It would make sense if they had done away with paperbooks and offered eBooks but wanted to still serve patrons w/o their own readers but, IMHO, we are a long way for where a library could/should do that.

I kind of see libraries as the last holdout for paper books. I think the B&M stores will go, and then the libraries will be left. Well, them and maybe used bookstores.
I think that's at least a decade away, though.
