You can put yourself on the wait list as soon as you check the book out but there's no guarantee you'll be anywhere near the top of the list.

Well you can re checkout an ebook as long as there's no one on the wait list. Only difference is, it's so easy to get on a wait list for e-library that everyone does it. Cuts both ways doesn't it.

I don't see this as a failure of the library. It's a feature, not a bug.
