Our local library has audio books in MP3 format for checkout, and even some loaner MP3 players, but no ebooks yet. They hadn't heard of them when I checked in a couple of months ago. I'm kind of in the middle of a bunch of other projects right now, but maybe this fall I'll start a campaign to add ebooks to our library. Meanwhile, at $100/year, the
New York Public Library looks like a pretty good option.
