But I would have thought that some method of enabling libraries to lend ebooks could be found, perhaps with custom hardware.
The question I have though is who would pay for the DRM? Would it be the libraries? Would it be Overdrive? Would it be the publisher? Would be all three or two of them? Would we lose library eBooks (I hope not).
