This is now relatively common, see
Public Library e-book downloads: Do you use yours?. The major downside is that these are typically either DRMed PDF or DRMed MobiPocket files, neither of which work on the Sony Reader. Note that this is some hope that DRMed PDFs will eventually be supported, because they are readable with Adobe Digital Editions, see
Top Publishers and Sony Support New Digital Publishing Experience (Digital Editions).
