Aside from the legal, ethical, and ADE issues, don't you guys find a lot of overlap in the catalogs? I am a member of Brooklyn Public Library and I am eligible for an NYPL card too. But when I look at the NYPL ebooks catalog, I have only found ONE book that I want, that is not available at BPL. So I keep telling myself I will get around to getting an NYPL card, but then I never do. (well actually once I did, but I got turned away for not having the proper paperwork, and I haven't tried again.) In the meantime, I keep on reading and reading from the BPL catalog.
Similarly, I have looked at the ebook collection of my dad's library (not that I was thinking of doing anything illegal or unethical with my dad's library card...) and the catalog seems to be mostly the same.
