Like I said it was overkill and as many people read these post I thought that I would kill a few birds as well.
Even though Amazon's eBooks are designed for the Kindle they also can be read through the various free kindle products for PC and mobile devices.
If having the ability to look up key words (search or Find) is important then stay away from PDF and ePub formated ebooks as you will notice that option is not available within the open book. That leaves you with TXT, RTF, FB2, HTM/HTML, MOBI and PRC - all non DRM.
The local library's usually partner with the "Overdrive" company to administer lending control via DRM for the ebooks and multimedia they offer.
As the other Poster stated Kobo is the eBook store for Chapters-Indigo here in Canada. It looked like Borders would be the USA partner but I believe I read somewhere that they may be in $$$ trouble.
I am not sure but I also believe that one of the other ebook online vendors may be affiliated with Amazon and some with Barns and Nobel.
