Here in our local library, if I reserve an e-book I have to wait until the people ahead of me are finished just like with a paper book. Sometimes weeks. This does not bother me. I am not part of our culture whereby their hands twitch if they have to delay gratification. Waiting for things is pretty much the foundation of my life.
If I had to go to the library to fetch electronic bytes to borrow, I'd quit using the library, too. Like tubemonkey said above, reading is a hobby, and there is no fiction that I "have to read". I am not desperate enough that I would buy it either. I have many other hobbies that I am passionate about, and many other things I can read on a tight budget.
