My reasoning being that if you're a really heavy library user, you're probably already using those alternatives and are therefore reflected in the existing wait times.
There are many variables...time will tell. My pessimistic nature leads me to predict the following:

1) Library book wait times for everyone will at least double,
2) there will be limited numbers of additional licenses purchased because of library budget cuts, and
3) Amazon will be blamed and thoroughly lambasted.

Hopefully, I will be completely incorrect...but my pessimism has served me well...
