In many cases, no one.
I'm not seeing your point. In many areas, American public transportation is shamefully lacking. Yet another thing I would happily pay more taxes for -- I'd love to give up my car entirely. But I'm not seeing a connection between "some people can't get to a library by ANY means possible" and the "should libraries charge for book rentals" topic.
To the previous poster, most epubs are measured in KBs. Dial-up download wouldn't be too terribly bad. Not thrilling, but very possible.
