I've also joined a library which has an Overdrive subscription -- though with seriously limited catalog compared to the big libraries. My tiny rural library offers Freading -- and many of the books available through Freading are also offered in KU. While these are back list titles and mid-list authors, I'm finding plenty to read through Freading, so I won't be jumping on KU right away. My big complaint about Freading is that they only offer ePub/ADE format. Fortunately, I own a BeBook reader that is authorized to my ADE account. Moving to KU would allow me to read these same titles on my Kindle Keyboard.

If you read that many books, you are bound to get your monies worth from overdrive (even if you had to pay the fee for out-of-state) or KU! My library has overdrive, but not much selection. I haven't opted to join the Houston library system which has more books available. It's still cheaper right now for me to buy what I want to read--but I read one to three books a month.
