Sony Reader Devices Can Now Borrow E-Books From Libraries
August 26th, 2009The Wired Campus – “The new feature involves a service by a company called OverDrive Inc., which distributes electronic books to about 9,000 libraries, about 100 of which are academic libraries.Now libraries that use the OverDrive service will give patrons the option of downloading the e-books to their Sony Readers. A few weeks after a user checks out a book, the loan period ends, and the e-books are removed from the user’s collection.”

I have been able to check books out from my local library on my Sony reader for quite a while. Not my bigger academic library or my bigger county library, just my small city library.
