I have extreme doubts that 26 loans is "a year of use" since a good number of library users are heavy readers and will finish a book in a day or two and return it.
But regardless, not that I am in favor of this either, but if they wanted to make it a year of use ---- then why not make it a year of use? As in "You can loan this licensed eBook to your patrons for one year and then at the end of that year if you want to continue loaning it you will need to re-buy."
At that point in time the library could re-evaluate whether or not the book is still in enough demand to warrant purchasing again.
And not that would do this either, but disposable ebooks that evaporate after a year should cost less. The same way that a paper plate costs less than Corelle.
