(still not sure when they go from frontlist to backlist, a year???)

• HarperCollins – last year HC announced their 26 check out policy.

• Penguin – stops both eBooks and Audiobook download sales for libraries 2/10/12

• Random House – happily works with libraries, but will increase library prices across the board in Feb/March 2012.
Hmmm, I will probably need to buy some Random House stock in that case.... -- is Bertelsmann actually publicly traded?
