Actually our library offers the ability to download sample previews (usually the first chapter) of some selected ebooks. But I don't know how they choose which ones! This is a great idea for browsers, as you suggest.
My local library allows 10 holds and 10 checkouts. I also sometimes use my son's account in another city to borrow ebooks. The limit there is 15 holds and 15 checkouts.
