[Detour]

I see so many people asking where to get free e-books all over the place and so rarely are they pointed toward their own public library website. Usually people suggest everything from Project Gutenberg to multiple file sharing networks. I see these various question/answer things everywhere from Yahoo Answers to here.

I can get free e-books (mobipocket and adobe), even current bestsellers, completely legal and free from my local library website. Does anyone else here use that resource? Do you tell others to use theirs? Maybe this has been discussed here and I missed it but I've been lurking for a bit and haven't seen it.

Maybe I've just been spending too much time lurking in the books section on Yahoo Answers and I'm sick of seeing people be told it's illegal to have free e-books that aren't from Project Gutenberg.
