Not hardly. I posted about a month ago that the New York Public Library's 3M collection (http://ebook.3m.com/library/en/nypl/) only has 21 non-fiction books, and it's still true. I do notice tonight that they have added the more or less complete works of Tom Clancy.

I found the following unpromising note dated August 24 on the Kansas State Library web site:

Quote:
We are very sorry that 3M took so long to fix this issue. Please realize that the State Library keeps records of incidents like this with a vendor, and factors deeply in our decisions when contracts are up for renewal.

Despite the tiny number of books and small number of participating libraries, the web site is slow, and about a third of the time I check, it's down
