E-books find their way to Swedish libraries

I heard a while back ago from one of our readers, Timmy Ljung, that some Swedish libraries are beginning to carry e-books. A typical borrowing period is seven to twenty one days, and then the e-book is no longer readable. Quite a few Swedish novels and children's books are available in MobiPocket format. Some one hundred English books are available through netLibrary.
Is this ever going to become a widely used way of borrowing books at the library?
