It's an observation that points out that physical books are not being lent out hundred or thousands of times so the physical book argument (or the digitized physical book argument) don't hold water.
- nix23 6y agoI never said anything about physical book's, many public-library have already e-books, like research-papers and so on.
- dhosek 6y agoSorry, lots of commentary. The IA lending is premised on the idea that a physical book can be lent an unlimited number of times. Public library lending of e-books is premised on limited number of lends with most lends (Libby/Media on Demand being the most common of these, but there are other programs as well that work the same such as 3M's digital library offering). With Hoopla, there's a per-lend charge that takes place.
