Any idea if this will still subject participate libraries to publishers' rules surrounding e-books, like HarperCollins' idiotic 26-circulation limit?

- atacrawl 16y agoI don't see why that would make any difference. It certainly won't make HarperCollins back down from their stance. EDIT: Well, that might not be true about HC. But libraries would hit their limit a hell of a lot faster with Kindle users added to the mix, so they'll be really motivated to continue boycotting HC's e-books.
- jamesbritt 16y agoMy concern is that making ebooks easier for libraries to obtain will encourage them to reduce or eliminate the printed version. More most reading I prefer having a book, and every so often I look for something in my local library and find they only have some electronic version.
