I check out eBooks fairly often, especially the audio eBooks. It's EXTREMELY convenient. I'm surprised at how many titles we have in our collection!! Lots of variety, too! While I have checked out pdf eBooks (and read segments of books from the Gutenberg Project), I'll be honest... those books I'd use as a reference only. It's hard to read a 300+ page book on a computer screen. Anyway, the access is fantastic. I've always been a proponent of various formats for materials in libraries. The more the merrier!
For the purposes of this exercise, I decided to explore SJ library's audio ebook collection a bit deeper and I picked a title that I wouldn't normally pick. I checked out "Don't Look Down" by Jennifer Cruise. I also checked out "Alpha and Oranges" by Atomic Opera from the Overdrive music collection. The World eBook Fair doesn't seem to be offering free downloads at this time, but it appears that they will again in October. It's alright, we have plenty of good stuff in our own collection. Enough to keep me busy for years. :)

Great to hear that you are an ebooks user! They can be very helpful when we don't have the print version of the title you need. I agree that most would be for research; it is pretty hard on the eyes to stare at a screen for 300 pages! The audio ebooks, though, are pretty cool.
