Voracious reader? If so, this may change things for you.
Most libraries (at least in the United States) use Overdrive as their ebook library solution. From what I can tell it’s usually tied into a library network like the Minuteman Library Network. Your library will own ebooks. However, unlike the Amazon Prime Lending Library (we’ll be visiting Amazon again by the time we’re done), people can only check out as many copies of an ebook as your library owns. So, if your library only has one electronic copy of the new John Sandford book, only one person can check out the book at a time. What is nice, though, is you can place a hold on a title and it will automatically be checked out to you when it’s available.
I will be trying this, just as soon as I finish the 17 books in my queue.
Even better for me, they have a pretty decent audiobook selection available at least in our area. Sometimes it will take a while to wait for your ‘turn’, but it’s free.
