I remember seeing some people from Sweden in here, so if you are one of them, can you tell me how to register for that swedish library (http://www.folkbibliotek.lund.se/) ??

They have some nice English e-books, and I stumbled my way through the site until I found them, but I have no clue how I can register,... it all looks so Swedish to me :?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, since all I remember from Swedish class is : War er det herr? Det herr er en book!

How does the netLibrary system work?
A library purchases a collection of titles just as they would print titles. netLibrary handles all of the technology and hosts the eBooks from our servers. The library determines the authentication strategy – patrons can find your eBooks through eBook MARC records in the OPAC, or from the library website. As with print books, only one patron at a time may access each copy of an eBook. The library sets the checkout time for each eBook through our secure Library Resource Center. The Library Resource Center also allows you to see usage and collection development reports.

Are netLibrary eBooks compatible with eBook readers/handheld devices?
netLibrary eBooks can be read online. netLibrary eBooks are not compatible with other eBook readers or handheld devices at this time.

Only some swedish books can be read with MobiPocket Reader.

OK, I've seen that netlibrary has to do with that, but one can't register with them, unless I missed a link??
