I have no problem with them enforcing the existing geographic lending restrictions (though I'll be sad to see my account go at Essex!) but forcing people to come into a library to download the book defeats virtually the whole point of eBooks.
I'd support a highly vocal boycott of those publishers who insist on banning remote downloading, and positive support of those publishers who do not (who 'take a more relaxed view').
