E-Books From the Library

Unread post

I just downloaded my first E-book on loan from the library. It was really quite easy, and I'm sure I'll request others this way.

What have your experiences with library e-books been?

I don't have an e-reader, I'm planning on getting a Kindle one of these days, but I saw this website where you can borrow books from other people, looks pretty cool:

I have a Sony eReader and have borrowed books from the library as well. I have had good luck with it.

How does the lending work?

Is there a time limit on the lend like with a real book, or do you simply own that book now?
Too long for journals, too short for novels,
published a few pieces for Kindle:
