Since the Sony readers can use the DRM'd epub format and some public libraries have starting making books available in this format I looked into the local library in the Charlotte area. That exercise turned out to be a huge disappointment. They use two different systems (overdrive & something else), most of the titles can only be read online, and searching for titles is almost impossible.

But then it dawned on my that I'm looking for "ebooks" and "edistribution". Shouldn't that mean that I should be able to get access to a public library anywhere?

With that thought in mind I want to turn to this community and ask: What city has the best public library collection of downloadable ebooks?

go!
