Well, I can understand it from HarperCollins' point of view, too... but 26 check-outs is a bit ridiculous. Change that to 100 or so, and I'd maybe be a little more sympathetic to them. I can pretty much guarantee that most paper books in the library are just fine after 26 check-outs. I've been 40th on the waiting list for some books, and while they're not brand spanking new by the time I get my hands on them, they're not falling apart, either.
