Simultaneity of infinite copies is only a convenience issue compared to, say, public libraries which, in America, might have hundreds of a given p-book lent out repeatedly.

This issue is sort of the boundary condition of "what if everyone only used the public library?" Sure, we'd have to wait longer to read popular books. And branches would likely have to carry more books. Now I understand libraries pay a fee for their books and some of that should get back to content creators. Perhaps we need a device-tax that is similarly distributed. I have no idea what a fair distribution is but the complaint about digital goods is at least comparable to library books.
