library eBook loans for nomads

Many (most?) public libraries have digital media collections that cardholders can use for free.  This includes ebooks in kindle or epub formats, audiobooks, etc.

The big win for RV dwellers is that checkout, delivery, and return are all handled online;  your physical location and time of day/night doesn’t matter.  In addition, eBooks are generally very lightweight and therefore cheap for nomads to download over that mobile data bucket.  Audiobooks are substantially larger files.

Libraries usually outsource there digital loans to a service.  Here are the main ones and some libraries near popular domicile / mail forwarders:
