The only logical argument the publishers have on this is the chance of pirating these books to distribute them for free. The problem is that is already happening and simply making them available through our local library isn't going to change that.
Today I was looking at a book at Amazon that interested me and immediately lost interest when I saw it was available new in paperback for $5.60 and for the Kindle $9.99. I know this issue has been hashed and re-hashed but until you allow me to give away or sell my ebooks to someone else don't charge me more for the ebook.
What is interesting to me is that prior to ebooks I never gave any thought to book publishers just like the recording industry and MP3s. Now both are held in general disregard by the consumer.
