Ebooks are great, especially the free ones! I'm always amazed at what you can find for free. My Father-in-law wanted to know if we had a fairly esoteric book on Scottish family history in the library, and when we didn't have it I did a couple of google searches for it. I actually found it as a free ebook available through a library in Canada, by Father in-law was very impressed.
I think that they are a real way forward, but until easily transportable Ebook readers are commonly available (yes they are available, but I wouldn't say that they are cheap, or present in any large numbers) they won't greatly transform our library system. Instead, they will be an added service, along with books already in print. I think this is particularly the case in public libraries.
