I think I heard that Ohio is supposed to have some of the most well-funded libraries in the country, and they do a lot with e-books.
In the PA area, there is a nice selection of audiobooks that work with Pocket Tunes Deluxe and Pocket PC devices. E-books were tougher when I looked before - a few years back I think they had MobiPocket, and then it changed to PDFs that I think you had to read online, or at least on a PC. So for me, library e-books were not realistic. Who knows, maybe the format options have changed again by now.
As far as audiobooks, I think you can renew them if you want to keep them more than the original checkout. Probably 3 weeks the first checkout, and 2 for renewals. The library only has rights to a certain number of checkouts per title (or maybe per set of titles), so that's why they have to track what books are "out".
