That makes sense. In the US, eBook library services usually are usually consolidated at least at the county level, and sometimes at the
state level.
Sometimes, even if your state does not have a single consolidated eBook collection, you can join a non-local library for free. For example, I believe that any New Jersey resident can join the State Library for free, which is part of the best eBook consortium in the state. (I've never read of a MobileRead poster doing it, but it looks to me from the state web site that it is possible.)
