Scaling makes them different. A physical book can have but one reader at a time, and it can only be lent a limited number of times before wearing out, all of which limited the impact.
- andrew1 17y agoThat limited number of times is probably quite high though. In our college library there were regularly used lend-able books from the 1920s/50s and older which hadn't worn out. Authors probably shouldn't hold out too much hope of repeat sales to a library due to their books wearing out!
