The library book issues was one of the things that attracted me to the 505...Sadly, I have BOUGHT way more books than borrowing from the library (which I had planned to mainly borrow books). But the option is there. I live in the Sacramento area and took a road trip and got cards for several libraries in the San Francisco Bay area. I also have a membership to Michigan library consortium.
Luckily for me, I read romance, so with all the romance books at each of these libraries, I should never need to buy ebooks again. And I'm finding that more and more libraries are going with epub. I do not mind the pdfs, even with the funky line breaks, because the books are FREE....and I don't choose to spend time going through and realigning.
The libraries with the best selections (for me) have been the San Francisco Public Library and Michigan Library Consortium. Those are the two I check out books from most often. I use the digital library locator on overdrive.com to see which libraries have the books I want. And SOME of the books I want aren't available in any libraries yet, so I buy those.
Oh, and the SFPL and Michigan library are pretty good about having new releases. I recently read two new releases that I got from Michigan without having to even wait. And I'm on the waiting list for several more.
