My personal feeling is that is how the library should work for most of us. However, there are people who can't use a computer who will still have to have some tangible source sent to them via the mail. I would rather just download what I want to read and not have the snail mail chores involved. Saying that, I have a bunch of cassette books here which need to go back.
