Since you live in New York, definitely look into getting a NYPL card. My understanding is it is free to all New York residents and they have a very large selection of books. Sony will read pdfs and Kindle will read mobipocket (with a slight adjustment).
The NYPL card is free for residents. You can sign up online then it takes
a few weeks to arrive by mail. Once card is in hand, you can check out books.

So far, NYPL seems to be only library where you can join online and do NOT have to go to library with ID to activate card.

I've been looking at so many libraries as a non-resident.. but they always end up with the last step of going in person. sigh.

I love the NYPL. Have a nice wishlist on there.
