Again, this begs key questions: - who pays for their transportation to a library?
- who pays for their ereader?

Well, we do have an advantage here. There is something called the "library bus". It will drive through the province and stops at some major village centers (where there is no physical library building) where people can borrow and hand in their books. So, in case the person wanting to borrow a (non-existing) ebook without having access to internet, something could be rigged in that bus. But, in this country, we have a very high internet penetration (broadband even). So, I think, if they would ever go into ebooks, that service would not be used a lot.
