I'm in Canada and the Sony Store still sells PRS-T3 models which connect to library Overdrive systems ($79 by itself or $99 with intgrated sleep-cover flap). My local library has abour 230,000-ish titles available (not sure if this includes audiobooks or not).

I personally like the way Sony renders epubs and embedded fonts most out of the popular readers.

That said, I don't understand why you need a reader to connect to the library directly. Personally I find browsing on eInk devices isn't great because of the slow screen refresh and limited screen size. It's much more pleasant to do it on the computer and then move the book to reading device later.

Finally, if you are willing to lose eInk, you could just run the Overdrive app on a tablet and borrow books that way. Maybe there is an Android eInk device out there that would support this?
