I don't know how the NYPL is funded, but I would guess that the state funding NYPL receives is actually not dependent on how many in-state card holders they have. So a comparison might be difficult.
In any event, it sounds from other posts as though they can't do out-of-state cards anymore because of licensing problems with Overdrive, so however much they benefited from those paid cards, it is kind of academic at this point. They can't set themselves up as the Netflix of ebooks.
