I wish there was some way to let the libraries know we want Mobipocket when possible and PDF is very much not preferred.
Are there others here from the Boston area so we can get together and try to let the Boston Public Library know we want Mobipocket instead?
Another issue I've noticed is that there is WAY WAY too much romance being ordered for the libraries. How do we stop bored, tired, lonely housewives from downloading romance in PDF? It's a sad world when PDF and bad romance rule the libraries.

This is good to know since I will be moving to Boston in April. I have been checking out books from my library in Denver which leans more towards pdf but has a lot of mobi books too that I wanted to read. I did get a NY Public library card and they have a great mobipocket selection. They seem to get copies of most fiction books in both formats. I also have a card to the DC library which was free and they have a decent selection just not as big as the NY library but bigger than Denver's library. I check out books as much as I can since its a nice service and it saves me money.
