I don't know what the situation is like in Spain, but here in the UK, very, very few public libraries currently offer eBooks.
I doubt Spain has this kind of service. I expect people would just pirate what they want. I am not interested in Spanish texts, what I have very limited access to here is English texts.

My understanding is that the software involved manages the deletion of the files when your book is due. Is this part of the ePub standard?
