My wife has an account with the Philadelphia Free Library. http://www.freelibrary.org/index.htm They charge a $50 annual fee for out of state residents, but have a LOT of ebooks.
I just did a quick search of a couple of popular books on that site and noticed they were available as physical books only. Not sure that would work for me. I need something with an extensive e-book selection of popular books.
Great suggestion, though. Maybe they will improve in this area.
They have the best selection of ebooks that I've found. When looking for a newly published book I do have to wait a while before it shows up, and then get on the waiting list.
Also - once you have a valid card from your FL library you might be able to check ebooks out of the Open Library. Those books are usually older, hard to find ones that have been scanned for the Internet Archive.
Good luck. :)
