Since not a single publisher is offering ebooks to any libraries relevant to me, it's not something that influences my decisions in any way. I buy books by publishers who have signed up the authors I like - mostly, that seems to mean HarperCollins these days, with the occasional Simon & Schuster and Random House book thrown in.
In principle though, I do wish all major publishers would treat ebooks on an equal basis with paper books and allowed libraries to have them. I don't even think a cap is necessarily a bad thing - from a publisher point of view, it would certainly seem reasonable - although the 26 times lending limit that HarperCollins set seems a bit too low compared to how many times a paper book can be read.
