Yeah, with budgets getting smaller, the first thing I would drop is WorldCat.
My local library uses a co-op with several counties and so there are about 20 branches that are available on one library membership. Then being able to check out the book and download it from home is great.
Still there are only a small finite number of each title available.
I think the publishers saying when a copy is "worn out" on a digital copy is baloney. But, Misha, you indicate that they can wear out. Would you explain how?

I didn't know you could download them to the Kindle.app. Wonder if I can do that to the Kindle.app on my MBP.

No, you have to check into your library's web site and see what they have and in what format. You use Overdrive to check it out.

It is usually the older hardware that has the problems, yet my 3GS upgraded without a hitch.

[apple-iphone] Re: Anyone using OverDrive with iOS5?
Alice, I go to the library overdrive site and look over all the ebooks and choose the ones I want. I can have them for 21 days and can download to the kindle app or ePub with Bluefire. I just happen to prefer the kindle app. Also the library can only lend out each copy to one person at a time so there may be wait lists. Overall, it is quite easy.
I also buy books from iBooks or amazon, depending On who has the boom I want at the best price.
Amazon has a lot more deals than iBooks.

You're thinking of electronics--publishers are thinking of ownership. You can "lend" a Kindle copy to a friend, too, but only one device can read it at a time.
If ebooks could be copied/distributed infinitely, nobody would make any money. Authors and publishers have to eat too, and there are few millionaires among them. Stephen King, J.K. Rowling, Nora Roberts are the exceptions--most authors (like most musicians) have to take a day job and do what they love in their "spare time."
Most movies lose money too, despite the billionaire Hollywood image. When I worked at AFI library, I learned the ugly statistics: each year, about 45,000 screenplays are registered with the Writers' Guild; about 450 movies get made; about 45 make a profit; 4 or 5 are truly memorable, and (maybe not the same 4 or 5) win all the awards and/or make a lot of money. It's a lottery, but it takes a lot more work and expense than just buying a lottery ticket.
The book market is almost as bad--more get published, but fewer are big blockbusters. Harry Potter is the once-in-a-lifetime exception, not the rule. And a few dozen authors, out of thousands of hopefuls, enjoy sustained careers.
So ebooks, mostly barely profitable, are as carefully guarded from piracy as software, music and movie files. Multiple downloads are lost income, and most publishers and authors are barely making it (and let's admit it, the vast majority of the authors who put their stuff on the net for free really aren't worth reading). So, if you want the good books to keep coming, you have to give the good authors something in return. And that means selling one copy at a time.

Re: [apple-iphone] Anyone using OverDrive with iOS5?
It may be difficult to find out what ebooks are available at which libraries, short of going to each library's online catalog.
There is a central site, WorldCat.org, where you can search books, DVDs and other physical media to see where they're available. But WorldCat depends on each library to update and delete its holdings--this is pretty much automatic as part of the cataloging process for most libraries, but many (like us) don't carefully delete holdings from WorldCat as we discard titles--so you really always have to check the online catalogs of individual libraries.
Ebooks are more complicated, since they're acquired in big batches so they come and go at a moment's notice. I suspect most libraries won't be updating WorldCat for ebook holdings (especially now that budgets are being slashed).
And of course, library ebooks are only as available as physical copies would be--once a copy is "checked out", i.e. downloaded to a patron's device, it's not available to others until that patron finishes and relinquishes it or his time (2-3 weeks) runs out.

Re: [apple-iphone] Android Blanket Statement
> Leo Laporte, who says he's had every Android phone that's ever come out, said today on The Tech Guy, that if you bought your Android last year you may never be able to get the current version of the operating system. Is that true? Of course we all know that the Nexus Androids are able to be upgraded much more than the rest but can one make the blanket statement Leo did?
One inherent problem with an open operating system is that each hardware maker can (and usually does) tweak it to work in some "improved" fashion on *their* hardware.
It is then incumbent on the hardware maker to incorporate Google's Android upgrades into their version of the OS so as to propagate the system upgrade to their machines.
Do they?
Often not, and more often not so well.
Apple and iOS is a "closed ecology". Newest iOS upgrades may not be applicable to the oldest hardware, but, to take an example, iOS 5.0.1 works seamlessly well on the 4S, the 4, AND on the 3GS.
Of course, older hardware may not be able to take advantage of ALL the improvements in the iOS upgrade, but the ones that apply to the old hardware work, as noted, seamlessly.

Re: [apple-iphone] Anyone using OverDrive with iOS5?
Sounds like a great program for those who want to borrow books instead of buy them. Problem for me is that there are times when I have lots of time to read and other times when I don't have much or any time to read. Therefore, I buy ebooks. I like owning my music. For me, it's better than paying a subscription fee to rent music. I know kids today listen to what their friends are listening to and when they get tired of it, they like getting rid of it. I'm one of the old people that doesn't tire of listening to tunes over again. I have a large iTunes library and sometimes I'll just go through the list and say "WOW! I forgot I had that. What a great piece."

Re: [apple-iphone] Anyone using OverDrive with iOS5?
It is a program/app that allows you to download audiobooks, music,
ebooks, that you checkout from your library. You have to have a library
card, you use your library's online site to find the books and request
them. At My library the most popular books (audio or ebook) have a
waiting list just like for the popular paper version. When it's your
turn they send an email saying it's available for you to download.
Usually have a day or 3 to get it. You login to the library site, go
through the checkout process and then OverDrive is the way it gets
downloaded.
I use OverDrive on the PC and download to it. Then I can transfer, again
using OverDrive, the audio/ebook to a Zune, iPod, Phone or iPad. Can
also listen or read on the PC. When your checkout time is up from the
library, OverDrive on my PC will no longer play or transfer the file.
Lots of info on how to use OverDrive on your library site.
