So what would happen if someone outside the U.S. did that? I don't know.
I checked it out, and they did say that hey require some proof of ID and address, so while it may work for residents of other states in the US, it does't look like it will work for non residents.

I'm really curious as I have a sister in NJ, but unfortunately it appears that no library in her area offers e-books, so I was looking at out of state options.
