    Does your library have an ebook collection? If yes, do you use it or plan to? In what capacity?

    Yes. As I cannot leave my house, their collection is available on my computer.

    The Sedona Arizona Library does have ebooks available for a 3 week loan, but unless we are traveling, I find it much faster to read a book.  This is especially true if it is a longer book.

    No e-book collection as yet. That is for the future for when I have the money to get started. In the meantime I have a large paperback collection that is getting out of hand.

    Yes, I have a brochure about my library's ebook collection. I haven't gotten around to doing anything with it yet. But I probably will, especially if there are no fines! No matter how hard I try, I always forget to return library books!

    Well, I have I think around 200 ebooks on my Ipad, and I do use them quite often.
    The best thing about reading ebooks, is that it is not like reading on a laptop. Its easy and quick and basically limitless. The only negative thing is the loss of sort of traditional feeling of paper in your hands, which I like. But otherwise its really good.
    I use my ebook library everyday.
    My school library have an ebook collection and their own e-readers, which are possible to be taken out for 2 weeks. Its also very comfortable, but I have my own ebook library so I don't use it, but many of my co-students do.

    Our local library has an E Book collection but I don't read them. However, my IPad has I Book and I have five books on it, so far.

    Yes our library system has an ebook collection. I use it from time to time doing research on different topics. I just check it out online with my library card, same as any other book.

    Our public library does offer e-books. My wife has a "Nook" e-reader and has taken advantage of their services.
    I don't own an e-reader (and I rarely touch my wife's unless it's to sneak in a quick game of Angry Birds) so it's a non-issue for me.
