400%! Well, I just bought 31 books for under $1. I will be trolling this site for other great deals. Can't believe Overdrive would do that just when libraries are facing budget shortfalls.

Seems like an excellent business opportunity. Buy the cheapest parcel of land, next to a dump site or something, and then divide it up in one square inch lots, and voìla you have established residency and paying property tax

Did you try the Philadelphia Library I mentioned a few posts back? It is still $35 per year for out-of-area residents. You can apply online and the selection is pretty good. They will send you the card information by snail mail within a week or two. I have been a member for the last couple of years and use the Free Library of Philadelphia frequently for audio and eBooks. Originally, when I signed up, it had a better selection than Chicago. Currently there are 4,834 audiobooks, and 8443 eBooks. Way better than my local county Overdrive library
