something else I noticed in the article...

Quote:
More Californians said they buy books in brick-and-mortar bookstores than online. But the single most popular place for Californians to pick up a book is at the library. More than one-quarter (26 percent) of Californians get the majority of the books they read from the library, including 30 percent of Latinos surveyed.
More support for the idea that big publishers are screwing themselves over by not making their e-books available to libraries (a couple of them) or by trying to limit the e-book use via libraries (HarperCollins). They'll nip new readers in the bud before they develop, and keep voracious readers from discovering their new authors.
