One of the reasons I was slow to buy an e-reader is my concern of what will happen to libraries. I used to be a regular user of a couple of local libraries, but haven't been back since I bought my Kindle.
I'll probably spend more money buying books now, even when e-lending becomes available locally, so on the one hand that's a good thing. Can't see me using my library card again though, and that's clearly not a good thing.
