Did you know that libraries lend ebooks now? [View all]

I just found out that the Pasadena library lends ebooks over the Internet.
After 14 days you can't read it anymore unless you renew, like a regular book.
They also have a limited amount of each book they can lend so there are waiting lists for some books. This is probably to do with arrangements from the publishers since there is no physical reason they must limit the downloads.

I just downloaded Ashfall. A YA book about a 15 year old kid who is alone at home when the Yellowstone volcano erupts and changes the world forever.

Scary.
