I've tried using Overdrive books from my public library, an excellent library that gets lots of awards. I'm an avid reader of fiction, but want good, first-rate fiction. Unfortunately, the books available electronically are nearly always second-, third-, and fourth-rate books. Why can's we get popular authors like Alice Walker, Toni Morrison, Barbara Kingsolver, Kazuo Ishiguro, or even less well-known authors of good quality.

The learning curve to use the software is bad enough, but I refuse to waste my reading time on inferior quality books.

It would be an advantage to me, since I have minor physical limitations, making it somewhat difficult to hold a book for long periods. I'm sure that for other disabilities, like vision problems, it would also be a great advantage. So, it's a shame that better books are not available.

When I see proposals to make libraries virtual instead of bricks and mortar with printed books, I just shudder. Another nail in coffin for a discerning public.

I know it's an old post, but thought I'd give my opinion anyway.
