Public libraries are introducing ebook loan services. The book you download is time limited, as with standard borrowing, but you are usually given the option to extend the loan period, renew or borrow again. All systems are different, so you need to check with your local library service. If they have an ebooks service they are likely to have downloadable audio books too and both services will be available through the library website.
