Hello all,

So first let me apologize if this is the wrong forum / a FAQ / in some other way a verboten topic. I tried to avoid those eventualities but... ya know... n00bs. We can't be helped.

The actual question: I don't live in a library district that loans ebooks. However, my sister, a librarian, hooked me up with a membership to Kentucky libraries unbound and I'm loving it. Unfortunately, they don't have a very wide selection and they don't have many copies of their ebooks. Do any of you know where I can buy a library membership that has a good selection of digital books and lots of copies?

I'm looking for a good trade off between price and selection. If I can get 3 or 4 good, non public domain books in a year for a 10 dollar membership I'd buy it. If I can replace all my book purchases in a given year I'd probably save money even if I spent into the hundreds.

Anyway, hopefully one of you knows a good digital library system.
