[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 391888, member: 4264"] I've always wondered that too Janet ... I know our library is slow catching up with digital books so we dont' have a program here at all. I do know that the digital copies for libraries get purchased a certain way. I believe I read an article once that explained a library can buy a book for loan for ereaders, and the license they get is specific ... ie. Can be loaned to x amount of people at any given time. It doesn't sound as if they have ability to loan a title unlimited, the same as real books, only can loan the amount of copies they buy. So maybe popular titles have 10 copies at a time to lend while others maybe only 2 etc. I'd be really curious to know what people are finding when borrowing via library. I've been curious about this forever! [/QUOTE]
