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?

Yes, this is strange. If somebody download a book and are not allowed to do it there is people making the moral argument that the author looses money and it is wrong to download. But concerning library people seem to think they have the right to register at remote libraries and lend books an infinite amount of times and the author will not get any money for that and that is OK.
