I have access to a very small digital library with only audio books and was able to get the Stieg Larsson books with no wait. And between 2 other libraries, I got the Hunger Games trilogy with less than a week wait.
Something else I've noticed is that there is little to no wait list for mobipocket books and the audiobooks in WMA format.
I'm glad to not have to depend on library lending to get books, though; I notice some books have wait lists as long as 70 persons (  ) - I'd never be able to wait so long! |
Yes, I belong to four also. I've find sometimes a book may have numerous requests at one and 1 or 2 at another.
