Anyone anywhere can sign up for the broward county (Florida) library and use their large digital collection. You can join a waiting list if you see something you want to read. They have audio books too

Yep! There is also the Brooklyn Public Library, with an ebook collection of over 190k. In fact, I have signed up for cards at several libraries that allow this and pretty much always have access to excellent reads, including ebooks, audiobooks, comics, cookbooks, etc. Best part is I didn't have to visit those libraries in person--I was able to do everything online and once I had a card, I just added it to my Libby/Overdrive profile.

If you have a Kobo e-ink reader like me, you can log into your overdrive account right there on the device and borrow books straight to it without jumping through hoops like on amazon devices. I personally went from an older amazon ereader to the Kobo Libra 2 and love it with all my heart. I only wish I had the one in white, too!

Here is a website with more details and information about libraries offering non-resident cards for ebook access (and more!):

Good luck!

They no longer allow out of state cards for the Brooklyn library anymore, sadly.

Clark County Ohio will let you have access to theirs for $30 a year. They have about 200k books and the Hoopla collection is great for audiobooks
