My library often buys only one copy of an e-book (if very popular they might get as many as four); we are a half million educated, tech-oriented people, so, yes, there are wait times.
My Overdrive E-book Wish List (TBR pile) is running: 22 not available, with 1 - 2 patrons waiting per copy, and 60 books that are available right now. Granted, my list is heavily skewed towards non-fiction. I don't have many audios on my list, but the proportions seem roughly the same.
You are aware that Philadelphia has all those out-of-towner's with their $15 cards to skew things significantly, right?
