Of the three NYC libraries, historically BPL has had the least amount of available funds, so cost may well be the issue. It may be worth your while to get the NYPL card as well as the Queens card. All three are available to NYC residents. I found a Queens branch one subway stop and a short walk away from Manhattan, got a card, and found that they often have ebook titles NYPL and BPL don't have. Sometimes, though, I just end up getting a print version or buying it. Unfortunately, libraries in general are just too strapped for cash to buy everything. We're extremely fortunate in NYC to have three systems, any one of which would be the envy of many other places. Good luck!
