Such is the case with buying an electronic book (stock is not limited) and watching movies on demand (stock is not limited). The only limitation is your connection to the Internet and how much information you can download.

It puzzled me too. With the same arguments. I forgot is should be paid
somehow. Yep, the solution looks ugly. But, if there would be better one,
library would not hesitate to implement it.
Another question is: what is more important, to earn money for the author
or spread books to the people? This library solution cannot be different
than the one it uses now.
