I'll be:

Kenny, I share your enthusiasm for digital collections at public libraries. When I first found this site, and learned how to get those materials on my kindle, I was absolutely thrilled!

I wouldn't worry too much about the budget cuts - I'm in Chicago, and while they did get rid of someone in the ebook section, this month (one month later) there are more new ebooks than ever. I check them out at work, and then download them to my computer at home. The only thing I miss is riding my bike to the local library - but they don't even have ebooks! I found Chicago Public Library by looking for reciprocal libraries. It was a little round about, but I would encourage everyone who is not in a big city or whose local library does not carry ebooks, to check out whether it is in such a reciprocal program. I have to pay $3 for a library card at my local library (plus the property taxes), but my CPL card is free. And that is all I use now!
