A lot of apps, especially games, you can finish using within 7 days (or even 1 day, plenty of iPhone games do not have over, say, 12 hours of gameplay).

- waqf 16y agoA lot of books, especially fiction, you can finish reading within 14 days. I was never made to feel guilty about borrowing those books from the city library, returning them two weeks later and never buying them. When did the standard change?
- alanfalcon 16y agoAn App Store is not a library any more than your local Borders is. At least the copy of the book that's in the library was bought and paid for somewhere along the way.
- jawee 16y agoSince a software download isn´t tangible, it seems to make the library illustration make more sense.
- seabee 16y agoThe library has limited lending ability; you can't lend one book to two people at the same time. It will be very interesting to see how they handle ebooks. I'd be surprised if the publishers didn't enforce scarcity.
- alanfalcon 16y agoLibraries already do lend eBooks, and they do enforce scarcity. You can go today to check out an eBook only to be told that it's not due back for another two weeks.
