NetLibrary

I don't have access to NetLibrary so I can't really complete this step. Let me say that I think offering eAudiobooks via a service such as NetLibrary is a really good idea. I think the concept can be expanded upon to include MP3's for music and video as well. There should be sufficient technology in place to protect from copyright infringement. For example, Zune MP3 player allows its users to share songs by "squirting" them wirelessly to another users player. The transferred song is able to be played for a set period of time before it disappears from the player. Similar principles should be able to be employed in libraries to allow users to borrow such content electronically.
