This is a fair point, but I think there is a difference. Cheap/free ebook deals are often either old works by established authors, or new ones by less established authors. They want to encourage you to spend the premium for new books when they are first released. Libraries, on the other hand, are often used by folks to read new/recent books by established authors without having to pay for them.
