Any info from nook owners on borrowing from the libraries would be appreciated. I am not sure if this is available from any but large Metro area libraries with an abundance of funds.

Thanks

PS if you don't here from me much for awhile I am going back to work for 4 months (contract at Amazon again)

The Sumter County Libraries do not have e-books YET. I hear they will be available in the future.

It was suggested on one of the Nook Forums that a Library Card is available from Free Library of Philadelphia for $15 per year (if you live out of state). I just ordered a library card. They apparently have a large ebook library --using overdrive.
I know the Nook and I-Pad can borrow from libraries, but don't think Kindle can. Correct me if I'm wrong.
