I agree. The publishers are just so-o-o short-sighted. The limited lending is just like the DRM issue; the assumption is that if people loan out their books, it's preventing a sale. Um, Mr. Publisher, take a look around--people have been loaning books for centuries, especially the best-sellers, yet they're
still best-sellers! Duh.
