The US system of city/county/regional libraries made sense in the era of physical books, but seems antiquated in the e-book era. Each library paying OverDrive to make available a limited number of copies from a limited set of books is just perpetuating the old way of doing things. It would be nice if they could form a single huge consortium of libraries with a large pool of e-books available to all.
