I swear I've heard libraries rent out books for e-readers

At least in Sweden, e-books are licensed to libraries under an entirely different set of rules, and as such it costs the library a lot more when you 'borrow' and e-book than when you borrow an actual book. The result of this is that libraries have been forced to limit the number of e-books people can borrow pr. month.
