I still can't believe how clueless some publishers are do they honestly think libraries can afford to keep rebuying ebooks? And if the books aren't there do they honestly think it'll take the patrons long to figure out they can download over 2000 ebooks in epub format at various sites via torrents? It's much more efficient than browsing a library catalog or a bookstore catalog for that matter. I don't know why they keep shooting themselves in the feet and trying to prevent people with limited resources from reading. I read hundreds of books at the library growing up and once I had an income of my own I bought books from authors I discovered at the library! News like this raises my blood pressure. I can't help but think that the publishers hate their customers and have no clue how readers become readers or realize that not everyone has money at all stages of their life.
