So, if enough people are sufficiently incensed by HCs action to refuse to patronize their product, they'll CHANGE the policy. If the libraries don't get HC books, and people don't know about HC titles, sales go down, less money comes in, and HOPEFULLY somebody at HC with a couple brain cells to rub together fires the moron that came up with this disgusting policy, and fixes it......
As much as I dislike HC's new library policy, I fail to see what's so awful about trying to make money to stay in business. It's really not evil to attempt to turn a profit.
