But you can borrow Kindle books already from some USA libraries and have them arrive on your Kindle, I think, so that is solved?; and you can borrow kepub direct to some Kobos .
Not sure what percent of avid readers will only read on e-ink. I read a lot but almost always on tablet. I prefer that even though I own kobo and Kindle e ink devices also
There should be scope for a streaming audio book service. Audible want as much for a single book as netflix take for unlimited viewing , so streaming competition would be good.
It's already available with my local library into the Libby app, but they only have a few hundred books.so it's nothing like a netflix for audio books solution
