I've contacted several different libraries that had decent collections of e-books to ask if they offered an out-of-state card, including DC. I was told that licensing restrictions prohibit out of state library cards. I was wondering why NYPL could offer a non-resident card, and now it appears they are no longer doing so.
That's unfortunate, because they have a MUCH larger collection than my local library system will ever have. Furthermore, most of the ebooks available locally are PDF, although they just started adding EPUB (376 titles available the last time I looked).
I only have a few months remaining on my NYPL card, so it appears I need to focus on reading library books those few months rather than the books I've purchased.
