I guess I'm a little confused about the library lending thingy. On the "Publisher Weekly" website, comments about the Penguin withdrawal seemed to state that people were getting ebooks for free, and the authors weren't being paid for the libray lending. Most of these comments, of course, are from authors and publishers, so they may be a little biased (against Amazon? or ebook patrons? I couldn't tell). I thought the publishers were being compensated for the library loaning.
