Now it does, and so now it would be. I LOVE library books, I always have a hold list.
Everyone chooses a reader based on what is important to them. Some, who can afford it, have more than one so that they can have access to everything.
What I object to is the people who declaim *loudly* that their choice is perfect and anyone who chooses differently is stupid. That only *their* chosen device 'matters' - despite all the evidence to the contrary.
Sure, there are more Kindles in the US (probably not the world yet) than Sonys. Or Nooks. Or Kobos.
But put all the epub-compliant readers together with the growing public library access and you have something potentially formidable.
There are no 'losers' - despite some people's tendencies to choose sides. Everyone who reads is a winner.
