Is there a Kindle E-Book Library

I have a Kindle (in addition to iDevices, lol). I've perused books via the Amazon Prime Lending Library, and it appears to be crap (remind me to cancel before the 30-day auto-renewal kicks in, Ha ha ha).

I've also checked out the local County Public Library selection of e-books, and I'm underwhelmed by their selection.

Does anyone know of a larger, simple to use, inexpensive, and current e-library service or portal?

Thanks!

As far as I know there are only two options, both of which you're already aware:

1. The Kindle Lending Library, free with Amazon Prime.

2. Your local libraries. Although, investigate your local options. Often you might have access to more than one public library chain.


I'd be interested in something better as well (my local libraries have exorbitant wait-lists for Kindle books), but as they say, there's no such thing as a free lunch.

Agreed. This pretty much sums up your options.
