A good batting average, better than ebook availability through Amazon and other sources which scored 48 out of 70. Sometimes it depends on the specific book whether you will have luck or not.

Do you have the list of titles handy, I'd like to search my library for them in electronic and paper formats.
I find about 15% of the books I read at the BCLibary site. Yes, I have to convert them to read on my Kindle, but that's such a simple step that it doesn't slow me down for a moment. Though I must admit that I often have to wait quite a while for a book to become available. And in the last year, I'd have to say that the overall quality of new books available has declined noticeably, probably because at least some of the big 5 are refusing to allow their books in libraries.
