Do they have any artificial restrictions? Last time I tried a similar app (it's been a few years), I wasn't able to get an audiobook because someone else already had it "checked out".
- Tomte 7y agoJust like a regular book in a library.
- dvlsg 7y agoThat's what feels strange to me, though. It's not a physical book that can only be in one place at a time, so why are we holding ourselves back with artificial limitations? I suspect it has something to do with licensing, but I don't know for sure.
- Tomte 7y agoOf course that's the reason. And I have no problem with it. You may want to live in a world where a publisher sells a twenty Euro book exactly once, but that's not sustainable. If you want more concurrent users, pay for it. The library has decided which level of concurrent users to buy.
