This is a good point.
If I had to choose between having no DRM on ebooks that are sold or having ebooks available from libraries, I'll go for having no DRM on ebooks that are sold.
But I would have thought that some method of enabling libraries to lend ebooks could be found, perhaps with custom hardware.
