Yes.
Also, libraries dependence on Overdrive, 3M, and other intermediaries is part of the problem.
Some (few) libraries are starting to actually buy ebooks, like from Smashwords:

Sooner or later libraries are going to have to realize there are better ways to spend their limited funds than to rent BPH "bestsellers" at $80 a year. Especially when they are missing out on a lot of quality reads from small and indie publishers.
