Where can I see this?

As an evil and greedy foreigner, I'd like to have the largest US-american libary, of course. I'd like to know if there's an even larger libary than Brooklyn available for foreigners.

Austin isn't availble anymore for foreigners, I checked that. You need to be there in person..
Orange County Florida may still allow non-residents to purchase a card. The annual fee, though, is $125 for 43,616 ebooks.

Also, Brooklyn is one of the libraries testing the new 3M system. There are a few more ebooks in their program.

I have three. Two local cards and one FLoP card.
Okay I now have 4 Library Cards. I gave myself a late birthday present and signed up for the Brooklyn Public Library for $50 a year.
So now I just checked out a few new books. I do not like interface and there is no cart but the selection is worth it.

Going back to the original post about Prime, UK customers PRIMED UP are allowed to borrow books now.

Going forward now to the new posts:

Questia - 100 dollars a year - they are good for obscure books, and lack well known books - but I really do not trust them. I was a member before even Kindle existed. Perhaps I just got muddled up with the special offers, but I FELT ripped off! Though I was a member for 2 years - memory is not what it used to be, I felt that my loyalty did not mean anything to them.

Though e book readers did not exist at that time, I used to use the PSP browser to read the books on-line. And on the PC I would use voice reading software....

I'm watching free Amazon Prime videos. Notably "American Experience: New York" - excellent stuff!

I remember fondly checking mobileread, telead and engadget first thing in the morning from my PSP browser while drinking coffee. I actually only got the PSP because it could go online through some workaround. That screen was something in its day....

Tubemonkey, if ever you need help with those, we can take them off your hands: just PM us the card numbers and PINs.
