a day full of doctors and ebook question

off to the doctors in a bit to get immunizations and discuss whether or not some things i've noticed are side effects, and then after that, off to another doctor to have my innards peeked at. my glamorous life, eh? in between i may try to drop a bra off to be repaired and return a library book and inquire exactly how upset the library is with me. [wince]

oh, speaking of library books-- one of the library systems here in the cities (dakota county) is offering ebooks in nook format to be checked out. i found this out yesterday and have only barely restrained myself from acquiring one. because, really, it would totally pay for its self in library fines, and darned quick, too. anyone know if other ereaders are going to work with libraries?

I'm deeply offended by the notion that a library would copy a bunch of bits onto a computer I own and then demand that I delete those bits before they are willing to copy the same bits onto another person's computer. (The exact mechanism of this copying and deleting --- DRM or not, automatic or not --- is not important to me.) So... speaking for myself alone, I certainly won't be buying any sort of e-reader for use at a library.
