Is there a Swedish national initiative to make eBooks available? What sort of books can you easily get? Just classics, or contemporary literature as well? The Hungarian Electronic Library has a lot of books, even some fairly recent still-copyrighted stuff (though fewer "blockbusters" from that category), both classic and contemporary and all free.

The initiative is national, and you can get both fiction and non-fiction. The fiction is mostly contemporary. The company that provides the libraries with e-books, also provide the booksellers. I think there is roughly 2000 books available, but there is a lot of audiobooks included in that number. But it is a start, and it is increasing day by day.
Now if there was just sometime to read the e-books on, despite computers. But e-readers are coming this autumn, or maybe early 2010.
