There is a huge amount of anger on this thread directed at Harper Collins.
I am not familiar with the author royalty model. How do authors get rewarded for the not inconsiderable effort of writing a book when it is being lent out by a library? Presumably the HC model will allow authors to get royalties every 26 loans?
I am not sure whether it has been covered already, but I expect eBook borrowing would naturally be higher than the equivalent pbook levels. I will worry less about trying the first couple of chapters if I can just download the digital bits. I tended to read the first few pages in the library before lugging the thing home! That will eat through those 26 loans faster which will cause more concern.
Interesting times.
