Publishers see ebook libraries as a danger to their business. There's a quote from one of the CEOs here on Mobileread somewhere where the guy basically says it's way too easy to borrow ebooks from the library, which means more people will do it than would if the book was only available in print.
Don't know why book A is and book B isn't although there are possible reasons - they're not both sold by the same publisher (i.e., Janet Evanovich changed publishers last year. Her older publisher doesn't allow ANY of their books to be in ebook libraries, the new publisher does.)
I gotta run, but those are my initial thoughts...
