DIGITAL Library borrowing systems otherwise known as Overdrive.com
Overdrive is a system in which libraries can buy E-books, and lend them to their patrons for the low price of $0.  Overdrive boasts on their website that they serve 30,000 libraries in over 40 countries, so chances are they do serve your neighborhood library.
Also, if your library is on the top of their game. They may have pre-ordered the e-book. And, if so, you can get it THE SECOND it is released!!!

BORROW it from a friend. This may seem pretty obvious, but, if you are good with books I would definitely recommend asking a friend to borrow their copy! Chances are you know someone who has a copy of the book you DESPERATELY want to read. And, chances are, (if you promise to treat their book like a million dollars) they will share the love and let you borrow their copy.

Watch for Kindle/Nook/Kobo/WhateverDigitalReadingDeviceYouOwn sales and freebies.
