All the library pages are slow as shit, work like shit, are layouted like shit, are coded like shit, and just in general suck.. shit.

I can't understand how they can suck so bad. Most likely same design as they had 10-15 years ago. Their own design or someone elses? Impossible to update?

DRM for library ebooks works well and I think it's a brilliant solution. My mom visited me from Sweden and forgot to take any books with her but she had her library card with her.
She went to her local library homepage, typed in the ID for my Cybook and downloaded a couple of books that had a 30 day time limit on them.

Since it's quite new the list of books are not great but with time I'm sure it will improve:

This is happening here in Sweden to. A company called elib has monopolized the emerging ebook market.

Elib made a user poll and it turned out that 4% (IIRC) of the users were reading the books on their cell phones.

Here's an article (in swedish) I wrote a while back on the ebook situation over here.
