The Melb city ebook library is a bit lacking. I’d love to get physical books but they are too heavy to carry home ( hot desk - have to bring my entire life back and forth)
I was investigating this when I got my Kobo. I found the eastern libraries had the largest selection. You can make an account online and you don’t need to go in for ebooks https://www.yourlibrary.com.au/
The selection is probably down now but if you’re into public domain classics the Internet Archive might have something for you. Also Libby and whatever other one - Hoopla?
You can also have multiple library cards to check their offerings.
Fun fact: public libraries across Victoria get State government funding as well as local, so membership is open to anyone with a Victorian address. And most if them let you join online without going in.
There are 50 Vic library services, join a few or all of them and get all the sweet ebooks you want. Some have heaps, some not many, somebody will probably have what you want.
This! I have City of Melbourne and Yarra Libraries. Usually there is something between the two, though I do still find them limiting if you’re after particular authors.

I’ve been too lazy to sort any of this myself 🙃
