Over the past month or so, I've discovered Overdrive now works and plays nicely with Kindle and applied for library cards from the New York Public Library, the Brooklyn Public Library, and the Queens Public Library, all free for everyone who lives or works in New York State. I have the first two and need to go to a Queens library branch in person to present my NY state driver's license and pick up my card. (I work full-time and have two kids, which is why it may take a couple weeks and why being able to just download ebooks from the library is so exciting.)

I'm not overly interested in Kindle Unlimited, simply because most of what I want to read is unavailable, but I'm very glad it was loudly announced and prompted me into checking out online libraries; last time I checked was years ago and library ebooks didn't work well with the Kindle. (If anyone else is interested, it looks to me as though the best deal for SF&F is the Philadelphia Free Library non-resident library card for $50/year, with the Brooklyn Public Library non-resident card not quite as good for the same cost.)
