So you're saying that the amount libraries pay for a book is proportional to the number of residents in that city?
- ghaff 6y agoHe said "license cost." And, yes, I'm pretty sure how much libraries pay for digital licenses is at least partly based on the size of the population that they're serving. I doubt my small town library pays the same for licenses as the Boston Public Library does.
- BbzzbB 6y agoDon't they just pay a certain amount per "digital licence"/how many copies they can lend? For instance, my library has an X amount of "copies" of ebooks it can lend, I actually never use it because anything that interests me is always "out of stock" and you have to reserve the next available slot.
