I'm being unusually optimistic today!
Or at least that other publishers will not rush to follow HC.

I'm thinking, though, that maybe a boycott is exactly what HC wants--they want people to buy e-books, not read them for free, and this way they get to pretend that it's the libraries who are choosing not to carry their books.
