It's certainly the largest collection I've seen. You can browse the collection without being a member. You may be able to get an idea if there enough books there that you want to read. For example, when I was browsing I saw that about 1200 of the titles were romance. I don't read romance. If I did, that would be a big draw. I've gotten a fair number of mysteries through my local library. DH mostly reads sci-fi and fantasy and the selection is tiny.
