If you do search on this sight, you should find a lot of positive comments.

Thanks for the quick reply, applied for Philadelphia. Even with the Philadelphia library, access is limited to several thousand books versus the huge physical selection. I had thought that e-Books were more prevalent.

I also noticed an interesting trend:
- Classics are widely available
- Newly released publications are both book and e-book format
- Some authors have their entire set of publications as e-book
- BUT publications that are more 10 to 15 years old but not yet classics or written by authors that not aggressive with e versions; are to a large extent not available.

Any other places to try?
