Far less so than with ebooks as it is only one copy you are borrowing and only one person can hold that copy at any one time. Eventually most reach a slace where they will not or can not be passed on any more. They are lost, wear out or languish on a shelf. Someone must buy another copy eventually if they desire to read it. Not so with ebooks.
