My, my... If we are about to use the new possibilities offered by the technology to advocate any change, why not keep the same model (books are acquired once by library system, held forever, and pennies are paid directly to the author), just create a national digital library, mighty servers and all, the smallest budget for the service that we decided long ago is a)needed, b)financed from the taxes?
