An app called Libby and the big business of library e-books
Libby and the bizarre false scarcity model of e-book sharing is the kind of weird crap you end up when you try taking existing laws and paradigms and applying them to the digital landscape.There is absolutely no reason that a kid should have to wait in a queue to borrow an e-book because the 3 "copies" they have are already in use. If it's about making sure authors are compensated appropriately, then we need to restructure licensing fees so that libraries are paying reasonable per-use licensing fees. But to pretend that there are only a few copies of this book we can borrow is asinine.
