That's because people know how to return a paper book when they are done. Most do not know that using ADE they can return them early. So they finish reading and whatever time is left is wasted. So if say someone finishes a book in 14 days and has it for 21 days, that's an entire week wasted.

Then the library should edjumacte them about this. Explain that if everyone returns their ebooks when they are done with them, wait times will be reduced, blah blah blah.
BTW: All the concern about increased wait times is a red herring anyway. Most kindle users will continue buying ebooks if that is what they are doing. Kindle users didn't like waiting for a book to come in a few days when ordered from amazon... they didn't like having to go out in the cold (or hot) weather to visit a book store... do you really think the majority of them will want to wait 1-6 months to read a book. Hell no! they will just buy the thing and read it.
