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.

I received my library card from Free Library of Philadelphia. It took about 3 weeks. I've downloaded 3 books from them. Have read 2 and returned them. Can keep a book for 21 days. You must download Adobe Digital Editions to your computer. Then it is extremely easy to download a book. I love being able to read free books on my Nook. This is one advantage for the Nook, Sony E reader and I Pad.
